Youre So Pretty!

Youre so pretty I can’t express
Sometimes
You were an ugly baby
I saw the photos

You looked so silly and scared
Then
You were foolish a kid
I thought you looked it

You used to smile simply
Because they told you “Say cheese!”
You looked just like the rest
Only more pitiful
Soaked puppy, you!

But you were thinner then
In a sorrowful frameless way
The bones were still parleying
Which way we grow?

So then
You made up your mind
About what you Like
Like movies and books and music
That are beautiful
And make you beautiful
Made you beautiful
Like you are, now
Perfect and shrouded
Protected

I can’t touch you.
