Just The Way It Is

In all my life, I've known the worst kind of men.

I've known the kind that commit incest
I've known the kind that rapes
I've known the violent ones
I've known the bully
I've known the coward and the shameless
I've known the cheat and the con man

Never have I met any like you.

So forgive me if I seem shock at your differing,
Forgive me if I jump at the slightest touch.
Forgive me if I cower when all you present is a hug.
Forgive me if in spite of your differences,
I fear you could be like those that came before you.
