Woe, woe, oh to the slow.
Watch the water, but let him go.
He’s a beginning, a way to be all.
But he’s got to wait for the final call.
Hold up a hand, help him inside.
There’s nothing left, no one to hide.
What?! When?! Where do I run?
There’s nothing there, but the damage is done.
You could be wrong. You could be right.
You could be a rebellious fight.
Someone help – my baby’s falling.
I came to him – his final calling.
He came to the end. He came to the place.
I could show you his mark, but I forgot his face.

People are very odd, when it comes to romantic love. When things go wrong, usually at least one of the parties, quite often the male, is insistent.

There were expectations that were not met. He did not express them when trying to simply begin a relationship. After dating a few months, they were clearly expressed when I was informed of failing to meet them. This led to demands I was unable and unwilling to meet, especially since someone else was… while we were still “engaged” according to him.
Both sides have expectations in a relationship and should share them, as well as have patience enough to talk about them regardless of what stage of the relationship they arise. A lesson for me to grow from.

You are the mature one, for realizing this. May your next such friend be more forthcoming with expectations, from the onset.

I am completely different person now, and have given ALL parts of my life to God. By waiting for what/who God wants in my life, I have faith that all things will be for His glory!
Thank you for your kind words and spoken blessings. God loves you!
