daved,
today you spoke about being self-conscious. i understand, as per a previous post. i understand that it's a personal struggle and an issue with your mind, and that no reassurances can change it. however, i hope that reassurance can remind you that you are not being objective when you think like that.
you are so handsome! i'll never forget the shock of seeing your face for the first time. i was so surprised that a random guy i was talking to was the exact type of man i would dream of as a kid. you're so handsome. a lot of times, i try not to look at romantic interests early on because i'm scared i'll think they're ugly before i get the chance to get to know how they're beautiful, but i've never had to do that with you. i've been staring at you since day one! you look good in every hairstyle. blue eyes look freakish on most people, but they complement you well. you look good in your oversized psych ward shirt. you have the prettiest sultry eyes. every time you stare, it takes my breath away. your nose is flawless. your lips are such a nice shape and color. you're tall, but you don't look spindly or overly lanky like many people do at your height. you are so so so beautiful. i love your smile. it's such a happy thing to see. sometimes i start tearing up when i watch you sleep because you're so beautiful. i wish you could see yourself the way that i see you.
beauty isn't everything. you know i'm the last person to care about looks. in fact, i'm a devout pretty people hater. i'd love you even if you were hideous and deformed. however, it is nice to know that someone out there thinks you're beautiful, so i wanted to tell you this!
