The Game

I'm no good at this
I try to be
But I struggle.
Struggle so much.
I could win...
Play it all
The way out.
But it doesn't 
Suit me..
Playing eats away
A little bit of me
Doesn't sit well.
Honesty
And forthcoming 
Suits me
But it hasn't 
Served me well
In the past.
So I'll keep
My thoughts
Close..
Thoughts of the
First sight of you
That stole my
Breath...
Your eyes
And hands..
Your arrogance 
That makes me giggle...
When the mere
Thought of you
Causes my heart
To pause.
I'll hold it 
Close..
Be still...
Try to stay
Focused
On the game..
But the thought
Of you
And the smell 
Of you
Consumes me.
Makes me lose
My focus.
Makes me think 
I'm too old
For games.
And then
There you are again..
The eyes, the hands
The mere 
Thought of you.
And I think 
What the hell...
It's summer right?
Put me in coach..
I can play..
