She was beautiful for the way she was

She was beautiful for the way she smiled when she talked about the things she loved

When she blushed lightly after hearing compliments from the one she loved, despite not feeling that way about her self

When she felt hurt, deep down in her heart, because she loved too much at times, but that was the only way she knew

When she felt the tingle run through her body, that only he could give her when they touched

When she felt her heart beat out of control when they kissed, never wanting to lose his warm embrace

When she couldn't control her racing thoughts when she went a day without hearing from him, fearing the worst had happened

When she felt the pain that he felt, not so that she could use his weakness against him later, but because they had become one through their journey, and all of their feelings were mirrored by one another

When she stayed up with him, late at night, because he wanted to talk about something that was preventing him from sleeping, despite her tired eyes fluttering constantly because she was tired herself

When she was picked up the phone, after assigning her favourite song to his ring tone, to listen to his beautiful voice because it calmed her in ways she couldn't understand

When she video chatted with him for hours on end, although she was going through one of her moments where she didn't feel pretty herself, but to him she was always perfect

She was beautiful because she was real and everything she felt was genuine

And in that moment everything negative that she had been told before, fell away, because she was beautiful for the way she was
