I think we are gonna be friends

Eye of the Beholder

Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes you look at yourself in the mirror
and say, “Damn, I look awesome!”
And, sometimes,the reflection runs away screaming.

And then, of course, there are the other people.
Some of them, regardless of the day, look so bad they burn the eyes.
Then the there’s the folks who look so odd
that you can’t tell if they’re real or you’re dreaming.

Then there’s a whole other class of person…
it’s a little hard to explain.
Let me go off track a little here
and, hopefully, you’ll catch my meaning.

Do you ever wonder if we see the same colors?
I mean, you might see blue and I might see blue,
but my blue looks like your yellow and your green my orange.
And it’s secretly completely different even though you seeing exactly what I’m seeing.

Okay, so now for that other class of person, of which you are an example.
You think you have both good days and bad.
And you, on those bad days, say that you look, well, pretty bad,
and if somebody says different you really aren’t believing.

However, you see, my blue is different from your blue.
And, even though you think you don’t look good,
you’re just simply wrong.
Because, even on your worst of the worst days,
you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
