Beautiful

One day I saw this girl walk my way
Her eyes sparkled like the sun on a hot summer day
She seemed gloomy, her head facing the ground
She looked like the new girl from out of town
When she looked up that's when I saw her frown
It was obvious the other girls were trying to put her down
She moved cause she had some old school problems
And maybe new scenery can be something to solve em
But so far your problem wasn't looking good
It was obvious that you were misunderstood
So when I saw you crying by yourself in the hall
I told myself, "boy grow up and get some balls"
When we conversed, I was quickly struck
I wanted to comfort you, it didn't matter what it took
You told me the other girls were better, you weren't on par
And I thought, girl you don't know how beautiful you are

.............................................................................
[[You don't know how beautiful you are
Your beauty shines like the brightest star
And girl I promise you'll be going far
(I promise you'll be going far)
They don't know how beautiful you are
Be my engine, and I'll be your car
Together, I promise we'll go far
Because I know how beautiful you are]]
............................................................................
As time went by, we discovered each other more
The others were ignorant, they called you a whore
But girl, forget the others, just look at me
If we keep this up we could last eternity
Girl you had a vibe that made loving you so easy
And I wanted everyone to observe what I see
But the others still didn't want to mess with you
And I could tell that their words were still cutting through
We spent more time together, we had so much fun
You told me you listened to old school like Nas and Big Pun
After that, I was sure you had to be my wife
I wanted to be with you for the rest of my natural life
I wanted you to know your value would never diminish
And I wanted all the ignorance and bullying to just be finished
Girl in my eyes you will always be on par
I wish you would know how beautiful you are
............................................................................
[[You don't know how beautiful you are
Your beauty shines like the brightest star
And girl I promise you'll be going far
(I promise you'll be going far)
They don't know how beautiful you are
Be my engine, and I'll be your car
Together, I promise we'll go far
Because I know how beautiful you are]]

You texted me around eleven one night
The content on the message blurred my sight
You said you were exhausted of all the names
And your existence would never be the same
You texted me a message that screened "bye"
Knowing the situation, I began to cry
Please, please I beg you not to go
I can't go through this life by myself riding solo
I remember the last thing you ever said to me
"Thanks for being my friend it meant a lot to me"
You felt a connection with me you was quick to tell
You said you loved me, but you didn't love yourself
You said what we shared was special I know it's true
Please remember me cause I'll always remember you
I tried spamming your cell, you didn't reply
As I dialed 911, I screamed out God why?
Next morning the news cut through me like a knife
It was confirmed that you took your precious life
......................................................................................
[You were supposed to be my wife]

[And be with me for all of my life]

Its sad you never thought you were on par

Its sad me and you couldn't go too far

Its sad you halted the engine to my car

Its sad that you dimmed out your shining star

To me she was so precious and so pure

In my eyes no one will ever mess with her

Our precious time together went by in a blur

If only you knew how beautiful you were
