Wise Woman

Soothsayer, reader of the stars, tell me: do you see the woman of my dreams there? A princess, no doubt, is what you will see, or a fairytale nymph with golden hair. But I'm not looking for fantasy lies; nor Angelic beings made of starlight. Find me someone like me, someone who cries; loves long walks on the beach and candlelight. Wise woman, gaze into your crystal ball: surely, she can't stay hidden from your view. And should you spot the fairest of them all: she'll never be as beautiful as you. Soothsayer, peer into my heart and soul: and you'll see, only you can make me whole.
