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.
