One should always love another before finding them beautiful. You see, I did not love you because you were beautiful; to me, you were beautiful because I loved you. I first had to look straight into your mind and into every hidden compartment in your heart in order to fully appreciate just how beautiful you were. You were an unassuming kind of beautiful, and once you had my heart, it seemed completely inconceivable how there was once a time when I didn't stare at you like you were more than the sun and the moon and all of the stars put together.

That is how love should be.

And we should be faceless and bodiless and simply be souls whispering words to each other and trying to find the one we're meant to be with forever, because love should have no outside and simply be what is on the inside.
