He was beautiful But in the ways you'd think He was beautiful In the sense that his words tasted like a hurricane The way his lips brushed mine with the feeling of security That everything would be okay again He was beautiful In the way he carried an air of timeless empathy about him How he felt against the rhythmic beating of my heart He was beautiful in the way he was there through my bad ideas And in our time together I had many bad ideas He was beautiful Because he knew what I needed to hear The words he last spoke to me He was beautiful Because he refused to taste the sadness as it crept up inside Even when it was the last thing I gave to him.
