Typical

it's typical
everything about the situation is
it's typical that i would hope she's changed
typical for her to remind me just how hopeless that is
typical that i would give her the benefit of the doubt
typical for me to be disappointed
typical for me to feel like an idiot
and it's typical for her to be none the wiser


it's typical
and yet still i am surprised
surprised that after all these years i've still hoped in vain
surprised that i would expect anything different from her
(at least she's consistent)
surprised that it hurt as much as it did
and surprised that i didn't see it coming
even all my surprise is typical
