Pretty Everyday by Ali Longo Lyrics

So I thought of

A thousands ways to end this album

But

Ultimately

I decided

To end it

With a poem

By my friend

Ali Longo

Pretty today

Smells like putting on sunscreen

Even when it isn't that sunny

Smells like notes of wine hitting my nose

And nobody else around to share the commentary

Looks like taking a walk because it's self-preservation

Looks like putting in contacts, just to see my eyes more clearly

Sounds like my genuine laughter

Even when I can think of pain a second later

Sounds like setting boundaries and not second-guessing

Pretty today in forced isolation is this

Pretty today will mean the same pretty tomorrow

The same pretty when I choose to be alone and stick to it

The same pretty I give to myself without your critique

Your gaze

Your views

Means pretty to me everyday

Will mean pretty for the rest of my joyful days

When I allow it

Thank you for listening

Pretty Everyday
