Expectations

Sometimes expecting things from people is futile.
Yet we have expectations.
Can’t we just be happy with those around us and who have been there for us?
But no we are humans, we are greedy, we want more.
Yes, we try. We try are best to give things amiss.
We try to ignore and be content with what’s there and what we have,
Because in reality even if we feel what we have isn’t enough, actually it is.
But unfortunately we can’t.
Its not impossible, its difficult.
How much ever you try not to expect you still end up expecting.
And why? What for? Just for them to come crumbling down?
Even if you try to think from their point of view
Even if the reasons genuinely seem genuine
Even if you know they may be right
You still can’t digest the fact and let bygones be bygones and move on.
Why can’t we live without having expectations,
Without wanting some people to fulfil them?
Why do we always look out for them?
Why cant we just be content knowing they were there and maybe still are?
Yes, right now they weren’t but tomorrow they may.
But alas! These expectations from people who are close
No matter what, we will still expect them and will still have expectations.
