Look at you
You're the
Male equivalent of beautiful.
I'd say handsome…
But that makes you seem old.
I'd say hot…
But that seems immature.
I'd say cute…
But that's overused.
I'd stay stunning
Or beautiful or pretty
Or adorable
But those are all too girly
So I'll instead just say
How amazing you are
And hope
You don't think
I think
You're ugly
'Cause you aren't…
You're the male equivalent
Of beautiful

There really is no other word for beautiful that can describe a guy.

I loved reading this! You broke the lines up perfectly.

Haha, I think a lot of girlfriends have this problem. Great job!
