She Judges Me, She Judges Me Not

To all the girls who judge me before they know me:

At work or at play, I ran into you
You smiled at me, my life started anew
We started chatting, we shared ourselves
We got along, like sleighs and bells

Then we delved deeper, habits came out
What I thought was victory, became a rout
I was open, but you became closed
You saw right through me, like I was a ghost

Yes I like to smoke, and I like to drink
But that doesn't mean, I don't really think
Your habits don't affect, what I think of you
Like when you pick your nose, when you go Ah-choo!

I may live in poverty, I may be short
I may be stocky but, I chose these not
I live the life I choose, that's my way
But before you walk off, please let me say

My habits don't affect, what I feel for you
My face like lorry langar, but my heart is true
Things on my surface, like habits and looks
Are part yet apart, like covers to books

I'll make the effort, to know you well
To know your needs, before you tell
To make you smile, to make you laugh
To share with you, all my stuff

So see my actions, and hear my speech
Feel the truth in me, this I beseech
And when I know, I have your love
I'll release to the heavens, a single dove

If you ask me now, my habits to quit
If you frown and pout, when my ciggie is lit
Then maybe just maybe, you're not the one
To journey with me, from two to become one

But if you can look, beyond the pale
Into my deepest soul, and see wind from sail
Then for you, only you, I will change
All that you dislike, in depth and in range

Unreserved acceptance, that's all I ask
Is that really such, an enormous task?
When I see you I feel, I've unearthed a gem
I am yours if, you accept me as I am...
