You are the suit to my tie,
The answer to my “Why”,
The ying to my yang,
The ka-boom to my clang,
The water to my beach,
The words to my speech,
The mouse to my cat,
The ball to my bat,
The flip to my flop,
The tazer to my cop,
The sun to my flower,
The sweet to my sour,
The wind to my wave,
The be to my have,
The sand to my dunes,
The stars to my moons,
The best to my friend,
The happy to my end

This poem is dedicated to my best friend Angie Ramirez; She truly is every one of those things and I love her to the moon and back.
