As much as you love me and see me
you will never understand me fully
you are a fast pace, and I go slow
you are loud enough for us both
you always push
yourself
your body
your boundaries
you embrace discomfort
tighter than anything
tighter than me
I am soft, steady, and slow
I am gentle like your compassion
I am quiet like your resolve
I am emotional to my detriment
you are practical to a fault
you make me better
while I bring you peace
we balance each other
take only what we need
