He’s not like the others
He calls me pretty, not sexy like I’m so accustomed to hearing
You see sexy is a synonym for “I’m attracted to your body.”
But he took the time to get to know my face,
He can tell you the shape of my eyes when I’m trying to get what I want
He values my smile
And more importantly, he dug inside to get to know my soul…
He’s not like the others
He respects me to a level that I thought was dead to this generation
Never once has he raised his voice
Or even ventured to touch me inappropriately
When he has me in his arms, he holds me tight and caresses my face
He massages my scalp, and when his hands move- they never go pass my back
He’s not like the others
Not even a kiss he has stole
And my guess is he’s waiting for that perfect time
Because his goal is to make me feel special
He’s not like the others
He didn’t attract my attention with his body, but the size of his heart
From the moment I saw him care for infants with different circumstances with the same level of nurture their parents would offer, I was brought into his trance
He mesmerized me with his will to always catch me when I have fallen
And his desire to give me the world just to make me happy makes my heart skip a beat…
He’s not like the others
“Don’t worry about it, it’s too much” I always tell him
He simply answers, “I don’t mind it”
And the amazing thing about it is he doesn’t
He’s not like the others
I’m a fly caught in his web of affection
Trapped in a place of happiness that I’ve been on the search to find for so long
Yet I can’t help but feel a chill of fear
What he doesn’t know is these are not uncharted waters
In my past, Guys gained my trust by injecting me with poisonous lies therefore luring me into a false sense of security.
The end result of their venom left my head spinning with thoughts of betrayal and defeat.
So I have to ask my self, can I really trust his treats?
He’s not like the others
I find comfort in this thought.
It makes me feel safe.
Although our future right now is uncertain, I hope this one thing remains the same…
He’s not like the others
