Beautiful

You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

And I know that.

 

But I can't rediscover it every ******* day.

I can't return to that epiphany

every time my alarm clock goes off.

It's unnatural.

 

But what I can do, and do quite naturally,

is become jaded and unimpressed by it.

I can see your beauty as normal,

as one of my life's many constants.

 

I can climb atop its shoulders and travel about,

rolling my eyes at sunsets and rainbows,

dismissing all the beauty of the world as

less than average.

 

And I complain to you about it.

And you can deduce your beauty from that.
