You Before I
You are a country guy,
I am a suburban lady.
You are a conservative hunter,
I am a liberal vegetarian.
You are brutally honest,
I am overly tactful.
You are a summer storm,
I am a winter flurry.
You live in blazing color,
I exist in shades of gray.
You are a puzzle,
I do love a challenge.
You are my opposite,
I am your compliment.
You draw me out,
I reel you in.
You try to be tough,
I see the softness within.
You are stubborn,
I love to squabble.
You can’t get me out of your head,
I see you everywhere.
You don’t let me get away with silence,
I think in secret too often.
You listen to understand,
I speak to be heard.
You give me my space,
I can’t get enough of you.
You live in the present,
I obsess about the future.
You take life slow,
I never stop sprinting.
You are a rock of stability,
I am constantly changing.
You are far from perfect,
I adore your flaws.
You are patient with my mistakes,
I aspire to be better.
You aren’t afraid of emotions,
I hide mine away.
You respect my limitations,
I am emboldened beyond them.
You challenge me to compromise,
I hate to admit when I’m wrong.
You are my bold inspiration,
I am your greatest distraction.
You constantly surprise me,
I usually hate the unknown.
You shouldn’t even like me,
I shouldn’t get you as well as I do.
You are my piece,
I had no idea it was missing.
You are my grandest adventure,
I am your most significant challenge.
You love me somehow,
I love you back.
