I'm not sure if this is my favorite song, but it is the one that has haunted me all my life. After a long relationship that I ended hastily, I received a card with the lyrics to Beautiful in it from the one I loved. I couldn't breathe as I read those beautiful words but I allowed myself to be convinced that they were insincere and did nothing by way of response. It's been twenty five years since I first read those lyrics and I have a wonderful life, but I still wonder, sometimes, how my life would have been different had I responded to that card.
