She said
she didn't want to say hi
didn't want to introduce herself
because she was afraid
that I wouldn't like her
and I can't get over how beautiful that is
how poetic
in such a strange way
the way rust is beautiful
in just the right light
she said
that I seem nice
that I'm really pretty
and I don't understand this power
I don't know what this means
I don't know how to feel
or what to do
all I know is
I want to know
I want to know (so very much)
what she thinks about herself
that makes her think
that I won't like her
I want to know
what about me
makes me pretty
but I guess
every one's pretty in the right light
even rust
