the love of my life...

i was two when i first met you. and 19 years later, we're still inseparable. a few minor setbacks but everything is fine.

its 12am and im shooting around with a tweaked ankle.. and im reminded by this beautiful night how i love you. you still give me the same feeling when we're by ourselves, listening to the you hit the ground and falling smoothly through the net. for that moment in time, i feel at peace and nothing matters. while you're in my hands and the courts within my sites, the arguments, problems, grudges, hating, yelling... ALL OF IT, forgotten... My issues, worries, thoughts, parents, hunger, dreams, and even I, gone, for that split second in time i hear "kshhh". its just me, the pavement, you, and the rim, against the world.

then i head back to my room, and here i am again, alone. dealing with this pain called life. but, in the back of my mind, i know that when we get together my love, you will always be here for me to take me away and ease the pain.

ok...

this is getting out of hand. its been only two weeks and1,000 people have died in Gaza. i dont know the politics behind either side but women and children shouldn't die because leaders of their countries are arguing over "something". if anything, the innocent shouldnt be getting hurt and the people arguing should fight.

what frustrates me more is that all i could do is talk about it and i have no control over this situation. theres nothing to do except pray...

i need a change.
