He Made Me See Me

For some reason I was never just 'okay' to him

He always told me my eyes sparkled in a very unique way

As if they were any different from everyone else with brown eyes

Apparently my smile warmed his heart

Too bad he couldn't tell it was a mask I wore to fool people

My laugh somehow made him smile

I wonder if it really sounded that bad....

Then when he told me I was beautiful, I was shocked

When I got home I looked in the mirror

I saw nothing beautiful about the person in the mirror staring back

A moment past.....

That's when I saw it

I guess I really was beautiful.....

Well, to him at least

And for me that's all that matters
