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.
