Am I Pretty

What is beauty?
Or is it that I should be asking instead,
Is this not beauty? 
 
You standing there, while your face makes me wonder -
What is beauty? 
I suppose, I must think you are,
 
Beauty, that which comes to me as revelation.
Evidenced only by an irrational knowing,
Not that you ask me to be captivated by you,
But that I do anyway.
