When He Said You Were Beautiful


When he said you were beautiful
He didn't notice that your hair was dry and rough from being dyed for too many years,
He didn't notice the worried lines around your eyes,
He didn't notice the scar on your chin, although he did recall the story behind it.
He didn't notice the creases on your neck, from when you put on weight during pregnancy.
He didn't notice the stretch marks on your belly or the cellulite on your thighs. 
He did notice your funny knees, but he always found them charming.

He saw all these things,
But he didn't notice them. 
All he noticed was that you were beautiful. 
Then he said you were beautiful.
