Let not inspired by lu(v)st


			Some are obsessed
			Only on looks -
			And that is often
			Exactly how my 'love'
			Used to be -
			But now my affection
			More often comes 
			From a knowledge of that person -
			And more and more then do I see
			The physical beauty that they possess.
			But often I begin to hope after a person
			Of whom I've recently found more of
			When I've already seen of their physical wonder -
			And thus it is
			That every time I have to redefine
			Where my love for them arises from -
			Whether it is fairly true,
			Or whether it is built somewhat
			On a small layer of lust -
			A simple yet compelling desire to hold near.

			But now to my real question:
			So which one is this?
