Words similar to a yo-yo, stringing out and in when desired

These accurate words you manipulate, no hesitation warranted
What you voice at the present and what you have shared in the past
I fit you like no other woman has; I am the suitable one for you
Words of connecting, the deepest you felt between another

Your passion for my physique, responding in motions for only you
The structure of my arms, the...
