Opposites Do Attract Quite Well
author unkown, learn how to claim this article
When I am climbing up, you are stepping down.When I wear a smile, you wear a frown.When I am very happy, you are feeling sad.When I am doing well, you are faring bad.
When I am awfully hot, you are terribly cold.When I am rather shy, you are extremely bold.When I am sweet and nice, you are tough and mean.When I am upset, you are serene.
When I am at peace, you are at war.When I stand against, you stand for.When I use a comb, you use a brush.When I am being slow, you are in a rush.
When I need silence, you need to talk.When I want to jog, you want to walk.When I decide to draw, you decide to write.When I desire darkness, you desire light.
When I say, "let's sing," you say, "let's pray."When I say, "let's go," you say, "let's stay."When I yearn to go by ship, you prefer to go by plane.When I wish to take the bus, you would rather take the train.
When I choose the color purple, you select the color blue.When I get tonsillitis, you contract the flu.When I want to dance, you elect to sit.When I'm ready to begin, you're prepared to quit.
When I want a sandwich, you desire a full meal.When I hunger for grits, you are craving oatmeal.When I studied Greece, you delved into Rome.When I read of St. Francis, you were reading St. Jerome.
When I vote Democrats, you vote Republicans.When I joined the Methodists, you joined the Lutherans.Nevertheless, I love you, and I know that you love me.Opposites do attract quite well, would you not agree?
For when I need someone to listen, you are always there.When you are hurting deeply, I show you that I care.When I need your strong support, you are always by my side.When you need my loving tenderness, I never fail to provide.
When I achieve a goal, you bask in my success.When you expect me to say "no," I surprise you and say "yes."When I slip into depression, you lift my spirits high.When you think you may need help, I am always on standby.
When you wake up in the morning, I am there with a warm kiss.When I lay down at night, you rouse me to loving bliss.When I need to feel protected, you are my guard and shield.When you're in bed recovering, I don't leave until you're healed.
When I am home alone, you call to check on me.When we've done each other wrong, we accept your apology.I love you so my darling and I know that you can see.That opposites do attract quite well, especially you and me.
