He called you a beautiful work of art. It made your head spin, your heart race, and your knees weak. A work of art, a wonderful masterpiece. That's enough to make anyone feel special. But darling, don't forget that when someone truly admires a piece of art, they don't look at it for a bit, and then mess with it and try make it their own. When someone truly admires a piece of art, they don't get a paintbrush and start adding more to it so that it appeals to them more. They don't brush on more colors because they think that yours are too bland. They don't erase or try to cover up imperfections and things they don't like. They don't scratch out the artists name and try to put their own in it's place. They don't take credit for who you are, or the things you've overcome. Someone who truly believes you are a work of art will admire you for who you are. Wait for him. Wait for the one who not only says that you are a work of art, but treats you as such. Wait for the one who puts you in a beautiful frame, and hangs you on their wall. Wait for the one who fixes a light above you so that your best features and aspects are brought out. Wait for the one who appreciates the masterpiece you are, and doesn't try to change you into what they think you should be. Beacuse I promise you, it will be worth the wait. I promise you that someone who thinks you are a piece of art will not only say it, but will always treat you like it. So let me tell you this: You are a beautiful work of art. And art is meant to be appreciated and admired, not altered.
