I prefer to see you as you are

Image

In every feature, pure essence,
your beauty without artifice,
reflects the light that surrounds you,
without the need of any filter.

Your eyes, two shining stars
that discover the world with passion,
in them lies your truth,
without retouching or manipulation.

And that smile, so authentic,
candid as a child's,
illuminates my life with joy,
without the need for a false image.

I prefer to see you as you are,
without making a pact with superficiality,
in your essence is your true being,
a beauty that needs no more.
