How can you judge
With your eyes alone?
I do not care for your colorful shoes
Nor your expensive jacket
Even less for that long car
Why would you?
Is it truly all we wish for
Something to please the eye with?
Does it bring you more pleasure?
Then a talk about the stars?
I want a connection
Not just attraction
The excitement to meet someone new
Often melts away after a day
Maybe after a date
I want more
I want to see beyond your soul
Tell me what you miss
What you hope for
Your story is what I long after
Not your empty shell

How can you judge
With your eyes alone?
I do not care for your colorful shoes
Nor your expensive jacket
Even less for that long car
Why would you?
Is it truly all we wish for
Something to please the eye with?
Does it bring you more pleasure?
Then a talk about the stars?
I want a connection
Not just attraction
The excitement to meet someone new
Often melts away after a day
Maybe after a date
I want more
I want to see beyond your soul
Tell me what you miss
What you hope for
Your story is what I long after
Not your empty shell
