She was beautiful

“She was beautiful,
but not like those girls in the magazines.
She was beautiful,
for the way she thought.
She was beautiful,
for the sparkle in her eyes
when she talked about something she loved.
She was beautiful, for
her ability to make other people smile,
even if she was sad.
No, she wasn't beautiful
for something as temporary as her looks.
She was beautiful,
deep down to her soul.
She is beautiful.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald
