All Shallowness Aside

When I see you I really see you. When I look into your eyes I get a glimpse of your 
soul. Before the appearance and before I started really noticing how cute you 
were there was everything else. Like the way you can make me smile the way no 
one else can. The way that you can touch me and my body gets a million shivers. 
So all shallowness aside I want what's on the inside. I wanted your heart, I 
wanted your soul way before I started noticing the other things. We used to fight 
like brother and sister. I used to not be able to stand you. But oh so suddently 
that bickering turned into liking. Something different. It turned into something 
deeper. Your the first guy I've liked for something besides what's on the outside. 
When i'm around you everything feels right. All shallowness aside. I want you for 
all the right reasons. It's not lust. Even though I tremble from the touch of your 
fingertips. It's so much more than just a crush. So all shallowness aside. 
Honestly I don't know what this is. But it's something more.
