the Great Metaphor II

It hadn't been that much time, we were still getting to know each other...of course we had similar interests..football, foreigners, going all out for the team... but it was a somewhat closed environment...train, train, train, play, meals together, alot of free time tgether...and now it was supposed to click on the field... some people say we both wore our emotions on our sleeves, i don't know if that was a good thing or not...

Here we were on what would be one of many hot afternoons on the damn hot turf chasing so many overweighted passes. Dammit I wish I didn't have the speed and the expectations that were attached to it... and this game was our first..how many more useless runs... was this going to improve? Jeez... but we kept going, every one they played we chased it... I guess it was part of the relationship.

The ball played down the right...just inside the box, of course its running away fast on the turf... we better not play on alot of turf fields every week, i'l die... but i get to it before it goes out, the defender right on me... one touch, look up... next touch I play it across the six... here she comes! always making the runs, always supporting! my strike partner! right foot finish with the defender all over her...it was a great goal... lunging and getting it in under the goalie... our first goal... i rush across to hug her even as she is still on the ground... it was a majic moment we celebrated as if best of friends.

Yep sometimes relationships happen when you'r not looking.
