Beauty

Beauty is a physical thing/ this is mostly true/ but the beauty they don't write about/ is how I feel when I'm with you./ It's like when you smile at me/ my features transform/ I'm beautiful and radiant/ no longer tired and forlorn./ It's like you make me feel as if/ I'm the only one in the room/ that is pretty enough to be/ the one who makes you swoon./ There's one thing you must understand/ I need you to remind me/ that you think I'm beautiful/ so I can step more lightly./ And so you must remember that/ my confidence is a fragile thing/ so whisper your sweet words to me/ because it makes my heart sing.
