True Beauty (2)
A reflection on life's purest beauty.
I’ve often looked to find the the greatest beauty life has to offer
It’s like my mind thinks that by finding this myth it’ll be healed
So I searched and searched and searched
Until I found it, or so I think
I finally was able to be level with myself
And for that split second it was golden
Like the combination of every beautiful crashing waterfall
The perfect warmth of watching an orange sunset with those you love
It makes everything you’ve ever felt fall to the background and pale in comparison
And then just as quick as it came it’s gone
Stripped from you quicker than a diamond loses its luster in mud
When you lose it you realize how much you needed it
Not just then, but always
You begin to understand what the most beautiful thing is
It's not a view or a stone or the night sky
It is dedication
That true, total, and powerful dedication between to things
Whether in love, hate, or anything in between
Like two blackholes circling closer and closer until they collide
Only they never collide
They simply graze each other before launching back out into the distance
Never to cross each other's paths again
True beauty, my friend, is not found in sights or sounds or smells
True beauty is found in the complete devotion between two people
