Beauty


Because the oceans are in your eyes

Because your hair shimmers in the moonlight

Because the size of your nose doesn’t define your beauty

Because your crooked smile makes you, you

Because your laugh lines mean your happy

 

Because your skin is soft to the touch

Because your hug is the most comforting place on earth

Because the freckles on your forearms show your beauty

Because your hands are where my hands want to be

Because your nails are pretty without nail polish

 

Because your stomach doesn’t need to be flat

Because who cares about a thigh gap

Because your legs don’t need to be a mile long

Because your feet can be small or large

You are beautiful because I love you, and so should you.
