What You Saw

How can we describe beauty
What is wonderful to me
May not be what you see

I looked upon you and saw not a flaw
But when you looked in the mirror 
you never saw what I saw

I'll never understand why you could not see what I see
But today I'm most grateful 
For the beauty you saw in me
