// Breathe in for luck.
Hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
The dim of the soft lights, The scent of your hair
That you twirled in your fingers
And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
And this walk that we shared together
The streets were wet and the gate was locked
So I jumped it, and let you in.
You know what I just realized? Tennis is a tricky sport. It's harder than it looks. The racquet is so friggin' sensitive that if you didn't swing, the ball would just bounce off and go all the way back over. That plus the footwork of running around as fast as you can to both sides of the court is extreme hard. Then there's all the fancy stuff you learn how to do later on, like putting different kinds of spin onto the ball to make it go a certain direction. Even though it's such a complicated sport... I like it!
Long story short, yes as you can probabaly guess, I played Tennis today. I ended up biking over to a friend's place and played Tennis for about 4 hours... crazy. You know what? I think i'm actually going to try out for my school's Tennis Team. Hah
My parents were both working, so by the time I finished up, I had to bike home by myself. You'd have thought that I would be whining and such, but I actually enjoyed it. Everything was just so peaceful, the streets were empty except for the occasional car streaming past. The streets were wet, and the cold air hit my face and for a moment I was carefree. No worries, no nothing. That was a great feeling, a feeling I havn't felt in a long time. It's hard to believe that so little could affect so much. Such a simple little gesture, or almost non-existant detail. Gliding past the dark houses with only a few lights on, watching a stray dog cross the street, a car zoom by, a stranger standing on the street, none of which noticed me, all of which were going along with their busy lives. It didn't matter, for a moment I was free. It felt great, and I felt as if I could fly and I wanted that feeling to last forever, I wished that I could freeze time, rewind and relive it.
