I watch as she gets ready

And can almost hear

Her racing heart

And too-full head

Trying

Futilely as she believes

To make herself attractive

Never realizing she already is

Worried she’ll never find

the one

worried that no one will notice her

will want her

completely unaware of her own awesomeness

unaware of how lucky someone would be

to have her

I wait as she readies herself

So ready to remind her

Of how amazing she really is

In hopes that one day

She not only believes me

But knows it for herself

(I think you’re freaking great!!)
