Distinguishing Her

Her smile is what invited me in
Her charisma is what coaxed me to stay
It wasn’t the beauty of her skin
Nor was her long beautiful hair, which calmed me as it would sway
She had more substance than others
She didn’t know it, but she knew how to make me smile
With a face that resembled the innocence of the goddess Venus’s child
I had never been attracted to someone so unlike myself
Do I even fall into her perception of handsome, were mutual feelings felt
If ever two different life forms experienced each other, that classroom was the place
Or were our differences only physical
I hoped that was the case
As of now I just ponder
Upon a beauty that stems from her soul
The only question I wonder
Is if two our two entities could possibly make a whole
