His Belief

His love is passionate and bold

Like a fire engine passing through   

Shocking her with siren blaring           

She often skitters quickly away                


Her love is demure and repressed

Like the faint brushing                   

Of a gentle spring breeze 

She wonders if he can discern             

The nuances of her affection    

                                                          

She thinks that                           

They might be ill-matched

He knows that they are not

For he believes                    

That opposites attract
