I know no fear in his arms

I hear no harsh words from his mouth

I smell no threat from his clothes

I see no violence in his eyes

----------------------------------------

I know love because of him

I hear kindness in his word

I smell only his sweet musk

I see my heart in him

-----------------------------------------
I know nothing of him

I hear not a single noise

I smell memories of us

I see my world become still

---------------------------------------
I know fear because of him

I hear him tell me of my weakness

I smell insecurity from his clothes

I see only hate in his eyes

------------------------------------------
I know love because I believe in me

I hear my strong heart beat

I smell the anticipation in the air

I can see a future only I can meet
