The Difference

What makes us different 
Is the nature in us,
Your fragile heart,
As tender as flower,
Your standing chest 
Like ripe fruit from yonder.

What makes us different is 
My heart of stone,
Depicting manliness,
My Adam apple and muscle,
Bold and sure,
Meaning certainty and rigidity.

What makes us different 
Is your ideas, portraying your
Flexibility,
My ego and your ego, different 
Paths they go.

What makes us different 
Is you and i, different like 
Fire and water....
I respect your motherly nature,
It affects eternity,
Your lips and hips shows us differently,
You were created from me,
Meaning without me,
YOU ARE NOT COMPLETE.
