I don’t believe in love at first sight,
But I believe that at the sight of your first love,
It can ignite feelings that they are the love of your life.
But because at first glance, it enhanced your feelings,
Putting you in a trance, it killed your real chance
To have what you so dearly wanted.
You pranced, jumping way too soon,
Making a move before the clock stroke noon,
Not knowing that your prince charming
Could care less if you lived life by the broom.
Regardless of the fact that others seem richer,
When you make haste
He'll return to your place with the glass slipper.
At first sight
You weren’t much a beauty to behold,
Not because you didn’t look amusing, no.
It just took time to recognize
There was more beauty enclosed,
Shown through your mind and soul,
And only time would let it show.
Not even your eyes could notice this beauty,
Only the mind could know.
So even if a man was blind in time he would know,
That you were beautiful.
