wow, i'm not even in a relationship (or in love) and this song has been stuck in my head for two days straight. (i still think the bells are like christmas ha ha.)

i think it's very interesting that neither the man nor woman is ever described through visual imagery, yet the song is about beauty. She is beautiful to him when on the phone, he is beautiful to her when she is pretending to sleep. the idea that they don't even need to see each other to see beauty in each other is beautiful itself, no?
