What was I expecting?
What was I expecting when I went against my momma’s rules
Rules and regulations are created by the virtue of keeping me safe from people like you.
But I didn’t know their purpose, did I?
To me, they were perceived as superfluous
Yeah, there I was, sneaking out my momma’s shell into your arms.
What I was expecting when I saw 10:2 girl to boy ratio in your messaging app.
Love?
Yeah, love is what I expected.
I ignored the emotional cheating coming from your messenger since boys and girls can be close friends.
Okay, yes they can.
Yes, they can blow hearts and kisses to one another as means of showing friendship
Oh yes, you understood the assignment of friendship very well.
You had lots of female cousins whom you gave same love I was expecting to get.
They even got better
You didn’t hide that you were a cheater
Till this day, I have not yet believed that I believed you
Was it ignorance or naivety?
I chose to believe the lies
Wait, did I say lies?
No, they were not.
You offered the truth but
I asked to be lied to.
What was I expecting when the signs were all over
There were not just signs, they were signs offered intentionally by you.
