"You're so
comfortable." 
you said scowlingly  
like the word
was a dirty pile of clothes,
like the word was actually un what it means.
Suddenly all I felt proud of 
was made small & kicked over.
But even more so unwhatyoucalledme 
was that it was true,
you were right.
I hadn't been running to my potential,
I was slow & sluggish in those pursuits. 
But my heart was always beating fast for you.
