The Reason 'Why'

I'm sorry I don't spread
as easily as others
But before all this went down
you could have told me the specifics
Like water and fire
the reasons we don't mix
Forgive all of my naivety
and the presence of my virginity
I had you figured wrong
From why you wanted me
to why you left me
two years of hoping
for this?
You should have a warning sign
attached to your wrist
I am not her.
I apologize if that's what you were expecting
But deal with it
As I have -
Because you weren't what I expected either.
