Ugly Lie

He blows a dandelion in my face.
 I can feel the softness on my skin.
 He then lifts me up to the sky and lowers me back into his warm arms letting me feel the softness of his lips

 The sun shines brighter on our skin enhancing our warmth.
 "Your beautiful" he says
 I just smile and don't say a word.
 He grabs me and playful tackles me to the ground.

 "You know that being beautiful isn't about being pretty all the time. A little dirt will get on you", he says.
 He grabs dirt and throws in my hair.
 I quickly retaliate and do the same but I throw it in his face.
 I get on top of him and then help him get the dirt off his eyes so he can see.

 Well then babe you are very beautiful, I say.
 He then leans in and kisses my beautiful face.
