You’d say she’s beautiful if you saw her, but you wouldn’t understand everything that she is. When I look at her, I look past the golden tone of her skin, and I see the sunshine within her smile, I see worlds within her eyes that I wish to explore. I feel the stars tangled between our fingers while I hold her hand, and I feel the rush of blood to my heart at the sound of her laughter. I look past the beauty which the world sees, because beyond that is a soul full of passion and fire, a raw beauty which if you could feel it, you’d fall in love too.
