I Love You, Not Because You're Pretty

 

I love you

Not because you’re pretty

Or blue-eyed

Handsome and cool

Not because of where you live

Or here you went

To school

I love you

Not because you’re rich

Or poor

Or somewhere in-between

Or because the grass

On your side of the fence

Is far more green

I love you,

I think you’re pretty

And you have such

Kissable skin

And I’ll likely always fall for

Your adorable half-grin

But these are not the reasons

That I love through thick and thin

For the person that I dearly love

Is who you are within

 I love when Edward asks her, 'do you find me handsome' and she says, 'not particularly' , then, when he asks her why, Jane replies,

"Appearance is of little consequence…it is the person within that is the attraction!"
