When people look at you
They see a pretty girl

When I look at you
I see an intelligent young woman

You love complimentsΒ 
You love attention

But I know you are better than that
For if you weren't then I wouldn'tΒ 
Admire you

Yes I would love the beauty

But I would mainly love the brains
For you are my cousin
And I admire you

I am thankful for you
Inspired by my cousin who sees herself as needing a boy
