Shallow

I wish it were only your looks.

I wish I had only fallen in love with your shiny brown eyes.

I wish I had only liked how you looked up after a surprise kiss.

No, that’d be too easy.

It’d be effortless to have only loved how you looked with your hair up.

Or the way your smile lights up any room.

I wish I could’ve been shallow.

Maybe then it’d be a lot easier to fall asleep.

Maybe then I wouldn’t dream with you every other night.

But no.

I had to love you for you.

I had to love the reason why your eyes shine, not only them shining.

I had to love the reasons you smile, not just the smile.

Yea, maybe this would’ve been easier if I was just shallow.
