You get it right

You know what?
You’re like that tea with the perfect tinge of honey
You’re like that wash that smells like that perfect mixture of detergent and fabric softener
That bouquet of flowers that bloom all at the same perfect time
That parking spot that opened up 1 minute before you got home
You get it right
And what’s more, you get it right the first time

You’re that unmistakable first impression that lasts someone a lifetime
You’re that movement perfect for the moment, like afros and dashikis in the 60s
You’re that perfect last bite of food on a plate, carved into the right savoring size
You’re that divot in the mattress that only fits my body
You get it right
And what’s more, you get it right the first time

I love you because you know how to love me
You know how to make my cereal in the morning and I’ll be damned if that ain’t important
You size me up when I come through the door at night
Know if I’ve had a bad day
Know if it’s been good
And know how to treat me for both scenarios
You nurse my ego
And toughen up my spirit when I’m acting weak
I never taught you how to do these things, but you know how anyway
You get it right
And what’s more, you get it right the first time

And so I send you these words that no one should ever be privileged enough to express
You bring out my best
Because you radiate your best
We are both blessed
I think you for all you do and there’s one simple reason why
You get it right
And what’s more, you get it right the first time
