They say people look at art to figure out its meaning, to feel something beneath their skin. She told me that she thinks she is like art, but like one of those paintings an artist draws when they’re mad. She’s like one of those paintings that you need to stare at for a long time to discover its meaning. She told me he was with her for approximately 94 days, and she believes that’s how long it took him to figure out her meaning. She told me he used to stare at her and call her “beautiful” a dozen times. He used to stare at her with love struck eyes, and a smiling heart. But each day his eyes started to turn into question marks, and his heart started to turn into a frown. She told me “he called me beautiful from the instant he saw me, and I’ve heard that when art is beautiful people stop and analyze it, then they walk away because the most beautiful works of art have a hideous meaning beneath.” Then I told her, “you are beautiful, but to me you don’t have an ugly meaning beneath. You just have the whole universe living under you chest, and I promise you one day you’ll find someone who’ll stay by your side admiring all of it. You have the universe living under your chest and not everyone deserves such a privilege because the universe is a gazillion things in one.”
