One day you'll learn where the real beauty of someone lives

Flowers are only beautiful until they're picked

He complimented her appearance as if he didn't notice that her soul was overflowing with a garden of roses and thorns

She loved the kind of compliments that pulled something beautiful out of her head

The compliments like "you look happy" or "you make me happy"

Her beauty was always only complimented in a way that she felt as if she were a glass window that people only looked through but never chose to go inside

Very creative take, I love the imagery of the window, but I think it might make better sense as a door... personally at least. Your word choice is simple but it really does the trick because each word is overflowing with your love of this person even if you do not love her the way she feels she should be loved. Or maybe I'm reading more into it than I should, but honestly, that's what I got out of it.
