A Poem by Camryn Jeter

I remember the first time
you told me I was beautiful.
I shook my head and laughed
and forgave you for lying.

Then a couple months passed
and I kept hearing that compliment.
Such a simple phrase,
such a strong effect.

As you opened all my doors (literally)
and held my hand walking down
the street, in spite of
the people we may meet...

As you kissed me in Walmart
with strangers around
just because neither of us
wanted you to leave...

I started to get a clue.
And when you said it again, I said
"Thank you" and smiled
and you looked like you were falling

Just like I did. And now, whenever
I hear you call me beautiful,
I feel that way. But that's what you
truly are, for helping me get there.

Thank you.
