Superficial

“I don’t want another pretty face; I don’t want just anyone to hold. I don’t want my love to go to waste; I want you and your beautiful soul.” I was never a big Jesse McCartney fan even though he was big among my friends when I was younger (4th grade-ish?). But I was listening to a mix CD in my friend’s car this morning on the way to school, and his song “Beautiful Soul” came on. Now, I had no idea this was Jesse McCartney, but I immediately fell in love with the song. So many pop songs discuss beauty or some other superficial reason for choosing a girl; I was thrilled to hear such a song that clearly focused on the girl’s inside. Maybe that’s because that’s the only beauty I’ve ever really believed in.

Think on that awhile.
