Keep your eye on the shiny bits.

I told her I liked him because he was

a "what you see is what you get" kind of guy.

And she said, " Everybody has shiny bits and murky shadows

that you can't see from the outside.

And, you usually see what you look for, at first.

But eventually it all gets a turn to bubble up to the surface

and you can't help but glimpse it then."

So I decided, right then and there,

that if I was going to live happily every after,

I had better keep my eye on the shiny bits.
