I want to marry a photographer.
I want my picture taken.
I want to see myself through someone else's eyes
And not be allowed to fake it.

I want to show off
for a little while.
Be pretty and just me.
I want someone else to prove to me that beauty is within me.

I want to spend nights and days
Lounging in a pose.
And when the photoshoot's done
I want to evidence to remember it- everything we've done.
