Beautiful You

You must learn

To love yourself;

If you can’t love you for you,

I hope that you

Can love you for me.

If you say you love me

If you really feel you do,

Then give me you.

Give me all of you -

The worst and

The best of you.

See how I see you.

Believe how

I treasure you,

And how I want you

From the very core

Of who you are.

I am not asking you to change

Or to give up anything

If it would destroy you,

Beautiful you.

If you must change,

If you must give anything,

Do it because you want

To spread your wings

And soar,

Because it would help

Make you

Even more beautiful

Than before.

Then I couldn’t be happier

I couldn’t be more joyous in love,

For my happiness is

To see you happy

And my life

Is to live

Knowing you have become

The very best

Of who you are!
