The boyfriend's expectations Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

You’re to be beautiful.
You’re to be soft.

Sure you can wear sweats when we are alone,
but when we go out...do yourself up.

Take your nose ring out when we go to meet my mom.
Wear a lot of makeup when I take you to meet pops.

Sure you can be smart,
just not as smart as me.

We can talk about anything except
your shaddy past, your monthly curse or your ex.

Oh, and by the way, you are a virgin right?

I've been writting for a long time and enjoy it a lot. I like to write poems (not usually the rhyming type), interviews, reviews, articles and memoires. University has given me a lot of opportunity to write research papers and other projects. I recently was guest editor for a neighbourhood newspaper. It was an awesome experience. I like to get feedback on my writting so do feel free.

Maybe you're right, look likely, but I don't think is alway so, one can love a girl for what she is. I think of a woman with beauty in conduct of life, in action and characters, in pursuit of intellect and a woman with reflection of paragon of virtues. Nice poem.



to some part i agree!
