I KNOW WHO YOU ARE

 

I know how strong you are;

I can see the strength of your arm.

I feel the muscles moving under your skin.

Hearts freeze in fear of you;

your eyes gleam with your power,

ice blue and cold.

I understand the darkness in you,

 

but I am never afraid.

 

I know how gentle you are.

I feel the heat rising as

your body touches mine.

My heart skips a beat when you draw me close -

the light shines in your warm blue eyes.

You are lit from within

by the love we share.

 

I know who you are

and I am never afraid.
