New Relationship

I may not be the person you see.
Who I was may not be who I am.
I may look like, but not be like what you expected.
I may hide myself under layers of lies
but I just want to know
who cares enough to look inside. 
I might not seem like I'm worth the time
but I promise I'll make your time worth while.
You may have doubts, so do I. 
do as I do. Push them away and look into my eyes.
I can read that thought quivering in your mind,
I read it on your face, line by line.
