Ying To My Yang

Opposites Attract

By Earl W. PearlPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I asked for a friend, God made you my wife

I am the introvert, you are the life

You saw potential that I couldn't see

Made me the person I wanted to be

You’re very vibrant while I’m pretty plain

When you’re going crazy, I’m the one sane

You prefer movies while I like to read

You shop for pleasure, but I shop for need

You’re weak in places where I’m pretty strong

But right in the area’s I’ve gotten wrong

You think you're wimpy, but I say you're tough

You say, “I love you,” but I don’t enough

You never wonder, so I wonder more

My boat’s only moving cos you are my oar

You’re not inquisitive, I need to know

I like the gambling but you like the show

All things about us aren’t quite as they seem

I sip mimosas but you like Jim Beam

You prefer canines while I’m into cats

I love your tresses but you prefer hats

You ask me to notice more things that you do

Though I thought I was, not according to you

One thing I noticed, don’t blush when it’s said

When I do the dishes, you “butter my bread”

love poems
