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?
