The Perfect Match

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone, and their weaknesses were your strengths and vice versa? Well I have. And till this day it remains to be the best one I ever had, as-well as the most meaningful. As in all relationships we had our times when we were at odds with each other. But for the mos part we had each others back on everything, and we expressed that in actions as-well as the phrase "I Got Yo Back Baby"! Which I might ad we used quite often.

I still can recall how we began to use that phrase. "I Got Yo Back Baby"! It was early in our relationship. I would say we had been seeing each other for about six weeks. when a friend of hers had invited us to a house party she was having. At the time I didn't have a car so we would go in her truck. As we prepared for our not out. She had mentioned that she can never really enjoy herself and kinda let go because she was always bye herself and had to drive home. At that instant with no hesitation I said. "Don't worry about it I got yo back baby have fun tonight". To give you an idea of how strong of a connection we would eventually have with one another. we unintentionally wore the exact same outfit that night. Blue jeans with matching jacket over a white turtleneck. Is that a good omen or what? Anyway. when we arrived at the party. Well I should say when she arrived with me in tow. "The New Man". her girls friends amongst other people complimented us on our attire and how well we looked together. This was our first time being around her girl friends and we all know how important first impressions are. So pardon my modesty. I must say we looked Damn Good Together!

Now me! I am a drinker. I can hang with the best of them. But not tonight. I have more than myself to consider. So as the night progressed every time I see my lady she's smiling talking with her friends and seems as though she's had that same Bacardi Silver in her hand the whole night. So when she finally takes a break away from her girlfriends. She walks up to me and gives me a kiss and thats when I ask her . "Damn baby that Bacardi Silver must be hot as hell by now?" And she says to me. "Huh. This my fourth one." I said. "Damn! Baby you thirsty ain't you!?" And her reply to me was. "You got my back don't you." And once again with no hesitation my response was. "Hell Yea!"

Our compatibility didn't stop there. I mean I believe this woman was a gift from God and I would like to believe I was her gift as well. For instance. I'm terrible with money and she's a star with it. She trusts people easily. With me trust is earned. She keeps a clean bathroom (and that's about it). Me I Clean the whole house. I didn't have a car. She let me use hers anytime
She doesn't cook. and I consider myself a ghetto gourmet. I believe that attribute had a lot to do with her feelings for me. I remember the first meal I cooked for her. Brown stew chicken and rice and big butter milk biscuits. Thats the firs time she had ever tasted it. She liked it so much in fact., that she finished her plate before I did. And went back for seconds. Needless to say that became her favorite dish. Don't get me wrong she enjoyed every meal I prepared. But the Brown stew chicken would become the meal of special occasions. Also because she had never had a man cook for her and yes this became one of those many "first times" that we would enjoy together. Not to mention the appreciation I was given that night.

So the next time you get started in a new relationship. Instead of noticing the flaws or the things that they don't do or can't do well. Step back look in the mirror at self with honesty. To your own flaws and weakness and build your strengths to help the bond you are trying to create. If you don't already know I'll tell you. The more you are around a person the more you unconsciously take on some of their characteristics and they yours. This special lady and I also had another saying. "You do what you do best and I do what i do best and we will always come out on top!"
