The Beautiful Girl
by Anonymous

She was not beautiful
Nothing about her was extraordinary
Nothing about her made her stand out in a crowd.
She grew up in a family of six and being the eldest she learned responsibility at an early age.

As she grew stronger and brighter, she instilled a sort of light and cheer to whomever she met.
She was not beautiful, but she made others feel better about themselves.
She meets a rebel boy who thinks he is all man befriending him, she teaches him.
She teaches him how to read and a little boost, the ' man' needed to go to college,

They become fast friends and she fell fast in love with her rugged handsome student.
The ' man' then finds himself in love with a girl
A girl who was so beautiful
Her hair was a hallow of light around her
Her eyes the bluest blue of the ocean.

' Like an angel' he tells his tutor
' like a beautiful angel.'
The girl swallows a lump at her throat

She was not beautiful
She did not posses the heart of the one he loved, but she did not care.
As long as he was happy, she would be happy, or so she tried to.


She helped write the most beautiful letters to his angel
All the time visioning it was she herself recieving those very letters.
And so the girl helped him choose the right clothes, say the right words, and buy the right gifts for his angel.
His angel brought him much joy and much pain to the girl who cried behind her smiles.
But that never stopped her from giving more than she will ever receive.

Then one day, all of h--- broke loose
The angel he loved left him for another man
A richer more successful man
The boy was stunned
He was so hurt, he did not speak for days
The girl went to him
He cried on her shoulder and she cried with him.
He was hurt and she was too.

Time went by and so wounds heal
The boy realizes something about his friend/tutor
Something he never realized before
How her laughter sounded heavenly and how her smiles brightened up the darkest days, or how simply beautiful she looked to him!

Beautiful.
This plain, simple girl was beautiful to him
And he began to fall.
Fall so in love with this beautiful girl
On one day, he picked up all his courage to see her
He walked to her house, nervous, and fidgeting,
Running his thoughts over and over his head.

He was going to tell her how beautiful she was to him
He was going to tell her how wonderfully in love he was with her.
He knocked. No one was home.
The next day, he found out that the beautiful girl he fell in love with had a brain tumor that put her into a coma.
The doctors were grim and the family decided to let her go.

One final time he got to see her
He held her hand
He stroked her hair and he cried for this beautiful girl.
He cried, but it was too late.
The beautiful girl was buried and the heavens broke.
Out a beautiful spring shower, a cry for their loss.
She was the most beautiful girl in the world and she had taught the rebel boy-man to love and what it is to be loved.
She was the most beautiful girl in the world.

Look around. Isn't there a lot of plain faces?Take a good look. A real good look, or you might just miss out that beautiful person. Forever.
