You Called Me Beautiful

Folder: 
Dedications

When you looked at me,

my cheeks got flushed

and I stood frozen in place.

 

I swear my heart stopped

in that moment when you saw me

in a crowd of people.

 

Then days later

when I found the courage

to talk to you.

 

You called me beautiful.

 

You thought I was beautiful. 

 

Here I was just happy

to admire you from afar,

but you saw me worthy of you.

 

This is the sweetest gift

I have ever received,

even if I know it must be taken away.

 

I don't know how to have you

without destroying you.
