most of the people i knew only see the physical beauty in the people they come across with. it's so easy for them to throw such meaningful words out. they'll usually say how handsome this person is or how pretty this person is.
i don't even know about me.
only then did i realize that they have their own set of standards about the beauty of people.
i'm way past that now.
i don't look at them anymore and i look beyond it now.

now, the people i knew are telling me that this guy suits me and that i should date him or that this guy likes me or just generally push me to someone else.

the thing is,
when i fell in love with you,
all those standards they keep looking for,
all those physical beauty they keep searching for,
stand nothing against you.

when i fell in love with you,
i didn't care about any other guy anymore.
i keep rejecting them.
because i couldn't see you in them.
because i just don't want to look at someone else anymore.
because i know, deep down,
nobody compares to you.
