I was dipped in a golden caramel
Filling in fill ins full enough to make you look twice
But simple enough for you to whisper a sacred "wow"
You look at me and can't put your finger on what makes me special
And those who love me watch out for me
Ready to challenge anyone who tries to even lay a finger on what makes me special
And so you just watch
As I pour my heart of gold into the world
To make it a little less blue
And a little more beautiful
You listen
As I sing with a voice of velvet
Making music that moves, lives, breathes
You admireAs I create art with my mind, my mind
My mind is my most beautiful feature
Like a poetic box of colors and spontaneity
And just when you thought I couldn't get any more beautiful
You examine my mind
You consider the universe of beautiful things within me
That outshines the physical
And you fall in love
And yet I feel nothing because, though you love me
You love me from a distance
But when you find the courage to love me up close
I'll be here
And I'll be beautiful
And we can be beautiful
Together.
