There is something about him

he makes me laugh,

he makes me smile,

he makes me feel pretty.

 

There is something about him,

his hands are kind,

his words are kind,

his actions are kind.

 

There's something about him,

He doesn't yell when I say something silly,

doesn't get angry when I make a mistake,

doesn't push me to do things I'm not ready for.

 

There is something about him,

he holds me close,

makes me happy,

he protects me from nightmares of those who have hurt me.

 

There's something about him,

he never gets angry,

he never yells, 

he never hurts me.

 

There's something about him,

he treats me like I'm smart,

he takes me out on dates,

he tells me I'm beautiful,

unlike anyone before him has.

 

There's something about me,

I flinch when he moves,

I cower when he talks too loud.

Those before him weren't nice,

they were angry,

they were mean,

they were violent.

 

There's something about him,

he understands that I am learning to trust,

he knows that I've been hurt before,

he understands that it'll take time,

maybe it's because he loves me..and maybe I love him too.
