Superficial Destiny

That superficial glance,
You gave her at the dance,
Never allowed the chance,
For you to find romance.

You gave her at the dance,
That disapproving glare.
You didn’t like her hair,
Or the dress she did wear.

Never allowed the chance,
To listen to her speak.
Which would have made knees weak,
And brought blush to your cheek.

For you to find romance
That night, was destiny.
But judging too quickly,
Now keeps your heart empty.
