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.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
