Expectations

It is too easy in this life

To get caught up in our own view

To get caught up in what we expect

That others will love how we love

That others will care how we care

That others will see how we see

That others will understand what we understand

And we struggle to understand when they don't

But from the outside

You can see that loving is loving

Even if it looks different

You can see that caring is caring

Even if it looks different

That what we see

Is not what others see

But that we understand

When we try to be understood

Don't miss the love you have

Because you don't see the love you give

But understand how you're loved

So that you may love greater

May love stronger

And may appreciate that love

And out-love your expectations
