Eyes Open - I Still Looked
My eyes are wide open
perusing every corner of life
and there you are.
Masculine, tall, dark and handsome
panning for the gold in a relationship
and here I stand waiting, ready to give all.
Quick and fast she passes
beauty on the prowl gleaning for a match
what was I thinking?
My eyes were wide open
and I knew better
but still I looked and hoped.
