"You're beautiful, but that's not why I like you."
"Why do you like me?"
"Because you're smart."
He's the only person to ever tell me that he liked me because I'm smart. Everyone else immediately skips to something else. "you're funny!" or "you have such nice eyes!", but nobody ever says anything about my intelligence. It's not really their fault, it's just that people think you don't want to hear about your brain. Brains aren't sexy you see. Girls don't want to hear about their smarts, they want you to tell them how melodic their laugh is or how their eyes sparkle. But to hear him say that he liked me because I was smart made me fall even more in love with him.
He didn't know it was exactly what I'd been dying to hear and that made it all that much sweeter.
He saw through me.
Sometimes I wonder if he saw all of me and that's why he left.
