You always give me what I need
Never too much
Or that would be greed
You allow everything to get pushed down the drain
Making me feel safe
You do this without showing any pain
Constantly you readjust
Adhering to everyone’s needs
You’ve seen it all, especially lust
Oh those dirty deeds
The linen you use never fits right
They always show something
But yet you aren’t positioned to give me some light
Sharing is your number one thing
You make everyone feel loved
But never a fling
Privacy is the thing you treasure
Spilling these truths would give you no pleasure
Your warm breath reheats every part of me
I bet you smile every time
You are the type of love I aspire to be
Never failing
Never refusing
Always prevailing
