You can not have acceptance
When you have expectations
Dedication and faith to
The ones you care about
Weather Mother or Father
Sister or brother
Lover or a fiiend
With expectations
Strong bonds begin to bend
Accepting what you already know
Can free up your time to let
Your love show
Don't be angered by things
You can't transform
Just take them in passing
Knowing "Things Never Change"
Remembering good times
Forgetting the bad
Taking a moment
To truly be glad
Thinking of all those old
High school friends
If only we'd known then
If only this was when....
Still all this time accepting it
For exactly what it was
It wasn't always,
Just the two of us
Now I'm getting closer
To an endless, undying romance
No expectations, or promises of love
Won't ask you for much,
Just a piece of your time
You'll live your life
I'll live mine, I think
You and I....could have a good time
Don't want your money
Gold or diamonds rings
Don't want to leave behind
Any of my things
Just want your company
Can't stay all night
Got to leave here before
Morning light
Be my friend and my lover
Can't give you much more than that
For fear that I may
Have to take it back
Just Accept, No Expectations

Very very well written! I like the content so much, I think it's great that you can be so honest in those lines and verses.
Great title and I love how you tie it in with the body of the poem and then bring it to a wonderful conclusion.
Also, I think you'll be quite popular looking at things from that perspective.....
