Floriana Hall's "Expectations"
There are some limitations
In feelings others can convey--
When we need them,
sometimes they're not there.
It may not mean their affection is lessened,
they may not know how to reveal their tender feelings.
Loosen the rope and give them some slack,
try not to be hurt by lack of attention.
Give what you can give and hope it is enough
to satisy them in good times or bad.
There may be too many "I's" or "wants" you need
for them to be at your side for every desire.
Don't say, "My way or no way,"
Or the love, their particular kind,
Could be left by the wayside,
For love can be complex.
