This song started streaming as I drove home from my run just now. And of course, I thought of you while tears streamed down my face. You always told me how beautiful I was. I can feel you around me right now, surrounded by your sweet words. Your beautiful declarations to my inner beauty and strength. I can still remember every word you wrote to me…
Your intelligence and beauty shines through
A beauty that was eternal and no one could take away from you
A beauty that is only going to get better with time
A beauty that brings out the best in others
A beauty that makes the lives around you exponentially better
A beauty that inspires others
A beauty that is inherently a part of who you are
…and then the light changes. And I’m snapped out of remembering your words. And us. And the pure vulnerability we shared. I start driving yet again, half reminiscing- half listening back to the lyrics of this song. Then the tears come on in full force as the last line is sung. Life- and a great love story. It always ends like this doesn’t it?
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful, it’s true
There must be an angel with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you
But it’s time to face the truth
I will never be with you
