It's Because

Okay, so who here remembers the first person they honest-to-goodness, really liked? Most everybody? That's what I figured. There's something special about the first person another person likes. Whether it's their eyes, their smile, their personality, or their sense of humor. Maybe it's even their looks (and though that's all well and good I really hope there's another reason too). I remember the first guy I ever really liked. And to me there's a difference between a crush and honestly, really liking someone. Anyways, he fit the "tall, dark, and handsome" description, was really athletic, a musician, and I remember being so impressed with how nice he was. A couple years went by before I saw him again and his family actually moved to my town. Crazy, right? Well, he wasn't exactly the same as I remembered but I still really liked him. I wasn't willing to give him up just yet even though he never even talked to me. My sisters didn't get why I liked him, especially when I knew he had a special girl back where he used to live. I guess I was hoping maybe, just maybe he would notice me and end up liking me. I know, it's ridiculous. Especially since I'm not really a romantic kind of person.....I guess maybe it was my stubbornness that wouldn't let me give up. Okay, so now that I've said all that; who all remembers the first person who liked them? The majority? Alright then, its a lot different than liking someone isn't it? I remember the first guy that liked me. It was awhile ago but the thought that kept running through my head was, Why me? I didn't get it. Out of all people why did he like me? Of course I run through all my faults, imperfections, and annoying habits. Then after thinking about all that then I really want to know why. And after giving it some thought, this is my conclusion: It's because they saw something that no one else saw, not even the person themselves, and they liked it. It's because they saw through that mask, looked inside, and liked them anyways.
