takingstockofwhatmattersmost:

she was a good girl

with just a hint of bad

proper, smart and beautiful

beyond normal beautiful

she was inside beautiful

you know, the beautiful that radiates

and wraps anyone close

and i loved her

and i loved her smile

and her hair and her lilt

and the attitude of carelessness

she was translucent in her beauty

and she was mine

for awhile

and she still makes me smile

like i am right now
