I was beautiful because
You told me I was.
You were beautiful because
There can be none like you.
I'm working on remembering you.
(not that it's possible to forget)
But I want your details
So I'm working on remembering you.
I think I have your chin down
But your nose is not perfected.
Your eyes are almost there
And your hands are probably halfway.
I was beautiful because
You made me believe I was.
But you were beautiful because
There can be none like you.
I want to know you.
Your no banana pancakes
And your Dr. Pepper
And your gas station champagne.
Our atoms are getting familiar with each other.
At least, that would explain
Why my skin, no, my whole being
Both tenses and melts when you're near.
Your fingernails know my back
My hands know your chest.
They're close friends, you know.
I'm sure you've noticed.
I am beautiful because
That's what you bring out.
You are beautiful because
There can be none like you.
