Sometimes I look into the mirror, and I imagine I'm an older me getting ready for a date with my fiance. I clean off my glasses with a clothe, returning them to my face so I can recheck my dyed-black hair and my three-piece suit. My blue eyes are sparkling, my short hair is perfectly parted, and I smirk at the thought that there is nothing more breath-taking at that moment than the size of my ego. Then I turn around at the sound of my love returning to the bedroom from our bathroom, and my breathe is quite literally taken away.

She is wearing a blouse and skirt that accent all her best features, which is every one. Her hair is tinted blue in places and brushed back from her face, some of the blue strands falling to frame her eyes. I want to tell her how my heart skipped two beats just looking at her, but my lungs still refuse to work properly. She sees me staring and quirks her lips in a tentative smile. She's not really comfortable in skirts, and I know this, but before I can give her a compliment she likely wouldn't really believe, she asks me a question.

"Do I look OK? Should I change?"

My mind freezes for a second; 'OK' doesn't begin to cover it. How do I tell her that? I think of the songs I've written for her, and I start to run the tunes through my head. Then I remember a moment from years before, and I start to sing a song that isn't of my own writing.


"'Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like
They're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She won't believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't
See what I see

But every time she asks
Me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile,
The whole world stops
And stares for a while
Cause girl you're
Amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day
If she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're
Searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile,
The whole world stops
And stares for a while
Cause girl you're
Amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl your amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile,
The whole world stops
And stares for a while
Cause girl you're
Amazing
Just the way you are.'

You're amazing, love. Just the way you are."

I imagine, then, that she is smiling and walking into my arms. And I come back to this time, this mirror, and see the smile that has crossed my face from ear to ear. The same smile I get every time she crosses my mind.

Yes, she is amazing. Just the way she is.
This was written after TheSecretWatcher sent me a song that made my chest fill with love.

That song was Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are", the lyrics of which are in this story. Then she sent me a video of Megan Nicole singing a slightly altered version, and I almost cried with joy.

You make me so happy, love.
