I was coaching my team,
winning handily.
She was coaching the other
team, and I loved her, so
I crossed the field, told her
how to work her players so she
could beat my team, as I knew my
weaknesses, and she beat us, and I
still loved her, still today, always.
Her merciless, innocent smile
still kneads my heart.

Women know how to castrate you physically and mentally so don’t just hand them your balls. Small wonder she has that “merciless, innocent smile. “
