I'm Not Supposed To Be

I'm not supposed to be
That woman.
The woman that loved hard
With all her heart,
Even though her mind
Said don't do it.

I was supposed to be
The woman,
That looked both ways
On the highway
Of adult attraction
And romance.
Avoiding being run over
By some sweet talking
Player who wanted to
Hit it and quit it.

I was supposed to be
The woman
Who would look love
In the eye
And tell it to stand down,
Or take a hike.

Somewhere
Along the line
I changed into
The woman
I strove not to be.

And yet
I don't mind being
That woman,
The woman who fell
In love with you.
The woman who gave
As much as she got,
And more.
The woman who knew
You were the one
Is the woman
I chose now to be.
