The Problem with Expectations

A poem about my past friendships.

When we first connect,
You had my utmost respect

Our friendship grows,
it brings many lows,

And I begin to reflect
on my unwavering respect

Following the theme,
I realize you aren’t what you seem

I begin to grow distant,
almost nonexistent

When you finally comprehend,
you try to amend

Our relationship to what it had been
It heals to some degree,
but never will it be

As glorious as it was,
When I saw you without flaws
