So often I think
if you knew who I really was-
the ugliness inside-
you would run so far away.
But you haven't;
you see into me
and you don't turn away,
you don't even blink.
You stare more intently
trying to understand me
with that smile on your face
and those captivating blue eyes.
You make me feel beautiful
in ways no one has before
because to you, I'm more
than just a pretty face.
You've seen beneath the surface
and still you don't see
the flaws in that I see;
you see the beauty within.
