i have been called beautiful before
just not by anyone like you
the way the words about my eminence flow
constantly from your tongue
is finally making me believe that all of those people weren't lying
at two am when i'm getting ready for bed
or at one in the afternoon when i just woke up
because i've been talking to you all night
you still call me beautiful
and when i ask you why you say it constantly
you tell me that it is to
help me remember
the truth
