Equally Yoked Aka Differences

She loved to go out I loved to stay in. She loved to live free I wanted to see what game was playing. Even With Colgate We had different tastes. She'd prefer Gel. I'd prefer Paste. She loved to take long drives I worried about the gas. She wanted to eat out But I always passed. She loves to laugh I kept a scowl on my face. She likes to savor things I acted like life was a race. She is optimistic I always think the worst. She is patient I like to be first. She loves affection I didn't want to be touched. She likes to make love I just wanted to phuck. She gave people trust I kept them an arm's length from me. She loves all people Me I'm not so friendly. She read The Bible I read Urban Fiction. She was attentive While I never listened. Life never got her down Me I just worried. She took her time While I always hurried. She loved to go to Vegas I worried about the cost. She wanted me to take the lead I didn't want to be the boss. She loves to go to church I always stayed away. She'd beg me to go "I'm busy" I'd say. She liked to go shopping I didn't go, she went alone. I'd rather be chilling Right here at home. She loved to hang out with her sisters She loves her family. I'm not close to my fam So it didn't bother me. She loves her family She feels the need to protect them I told her I couldn't stand them anyway So I rejected them. She wanted to hug But I just sat in my blue recliner. Now I'm looking for her Now I can't find her. I guess our differences Were too great & wide. I should've done more I really should've tried. Our differences made her leave Man, this ain't no joke. When you love someone Make sure that you're Equally Yoked.
