Beauty

“The
first time I saw you, my heart fell. The second time I saw you, my heart fell.
The third time fourth time fifth time and every time since, my heart has
fallen.
I
stared at her.
You
are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Your hair, your eyes, your lips,
your body that you haven't grown into, the way you walk, smile, laugh, the way
your cheeks drop when you're mad or upset, the way you drag your feet when
you're tired. Every single thing about you is beautiful.
I
stared at her.
When
I see you the World stops. It stops and all that exists for me is you and my
eyes staring at you. There's nothing else. No noise, no other people, no
thoughts or worries, no yesterday, no tomorrow. The World just stops and it is
a beautiful place and there is only you. Just you, and my eyes staring at you.
I
stared.
When
you're gone, the World starts again, and I don't like it as much. I can live in
it, but I don't like it. I just walk around in it and wait to see you again and
wait for it to stop again. I love it when it stops. It's the best fucking thing
I've ever known or ever felt, the best thing, and that, beautiful Girl, is why
I stare at you.”
