"One day, you're gonna want her. The girl that knew she wasn't perfect, but tried to be for you. The girl that wanted nothing more than to be there for you, and loving you was the only way she could. The girl that saw your flaws, but valued them as much as your strengths. The girl that still can't bring herself to hate you, even though sometimes you probably deserve it. The girl that should have you, but doesn't."

I would go to my bedroom window and stare at my reflection in the glass and the trees behind it and just listen to the song for hours. I decided then that when I met someone I thought was as beautiful as the song, I should give it to that person. And I didn&rsquo;t mean beautiful on the outside. I meant beautiful in all ways.
