Show Your Mind

In look, in wit, in character
We’re partially defined:
But you can never know true love
If you won’t show your mind

Be true to self to know true love;
That’s always been my credo —
So never hide how much you know
In deference to ego

I know it takes all kinds, and there’s
No one type of attraction;
But brains are really sexy, they
Help feelings get to action

This is all true for girls and guys
And all else, in between;
Be humble, when you do not know,
But let your smarts be seen

For it is never threatening –
In fact, it is essential –
That lovers take some joy in seeing
Each reach their potential

So look for this – insist on this –
The true sign you’re aligned —
Do not accept a lover who
Just cannot love
Your mind
