The Game
July 10, 2011
I tied back my wind-blown hair
Then flashed him a smirk that said
I was going to win this fair and square
I was just trying to get in his head.
The goals were all set
We began to play
Our faces soon shimmered with sweat
For the sun smiled on us today.
I was giving it my all
But he just couldn’t be beat
He finally made the call
My game ended in defeat.
Losing made me upset for a while
But now when I see his face I smile.
