She looks at him,
Looking at her
And wonders what he sees.
She’s no one special
No one smart
She’s just who she tries to be.
She’s not pretty
Or clever, or cute
She’s just another girl.
Hiding in the shadows
Praying she won’t be seen
With all the flaws she has.
Her nose is too crooked
Her hair is too plain
She has 10 pounds
She wishes she’d loose
So looking at him …
Looking at her…
She just can’t understand
Why he looks…
And sometimes stares
Like she just hung the moon.
But looking at him …
Looking at her …
She tries to understand
That she looks at him …
Like he looks at her …
And he can’t understand.
Author notes
This poem was inspired by the song "She doesn't know she's beautiful", which my cousin always says is my song because it describes me. After explaining "my song" to a friend, I realized it described him as well.

"She looks at him,
Looking at her" reminds me of a very old song. " I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see if I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me" lol. thanks for the entry and congrats on the hms -
I really liked the story told within your words. It is a shame that so many people think love and vanity go together. Thanks for entering and good luck.

Awww
This was amazing!!!
And it brought tears to my eyes. I definitely loved the last verse the best && also the lines:
"She just can’t understand
Why he looks…
And sometimes stares
Like she just hung the moon."
Everyone always works so hard to impress people instead of waiting for someone 'special' to see their beauty. Such a simple kind of love is one of the best gifts ever given.
This was very beautiful, I loved it
Thanks for entering && best of luck to you.

I dont know who is looking at who and why, But there must be something there, with all that looking reminds me of the song (She was looking back to see, If i was looking back to see. if she was looking back at me.) Nice write.

This a very good poem, I enjoyed reading it. We never know how another sees us. We usually compare ourself to what society says is beautiful.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder and most girls dont no that when your soul shines thats the most attractive thing to a man you dont try to change people and you except a lot in life and nothing much shocks you
