“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”

And if you can&rsquo;t see anything beautiful about yourself<br /> Get a better mirror<br /> Look a little closer<br /> Stare a little longer<br /> Because there&rsquo;s something inside you<br /> That made you keep trying<br /> Despite everyone who told you to quit<br /> You built a cast around your broken heart<br /> And signed it yourself<br /> You signed it<br /> &ldquo;They were wrong&rdquo; <br /> - Shane Koyczan
