To The One I Love

Happy Valentine's day everyone, Valentine's day is all about celebrating and recognizing the love you have for people or things you care, it's not necessarily the romantic type of love, it could be friendship and admiration

Dear football, I'm not sure why we've stayed together until now, despite every heartbreak, struggle, sadness and disappointment, I'll always come right back to you in the end. Despite the fact that my favorite football team, Manchester United, is not exactly performing the way we are expecting them to perform well at the moment, despite that I will continue to watch and participate in any football activities.

To be honest, you were a lot easier to persuade when my favorite football club was at its peak; things were more straightforward and compelling, and I was always looking forward to every match; every match day was like a special occasion because it was always exceptional, but now we've lost just about everything; we lack trust, we feel unmotivated, we lack interest just the way we play and the most frustrating part is that we can't even play simple passes; what's more irritating is that we have the best football player ever, but we're still struggling to score more goals.

Sure, we had significant problems that really should be left in the past, but we used to feel a lot closer back then than we do now. I get the mistaken belief that you think we can get closer, but I believe we're the closest we've ever been. I recall being enraged after Manchester United lost a match and attempting to break it off or try ignoring it by engaging in other activities or endeavors. You know, once a week, hook up with them for a couple of hours to forget about what you done to me, Long walks are recommended when you hurt me and sometimes after the heartbreak I do work on mastering the act of playing football, reading and studying for examinations, and occasionally learning to cook, as well as trying to enhance my social abilities.

But the reality of the situation is that I can't envision without you; you're an obsession, a passion, and a way of life for me. For better or worse, I don't think you understand why I love you, and I honestly can't explain why I love you; it's just something I've done since I first began playing and watching football. It feels like a torture to go a week without watching or playing football, but I manage to pull myself together anyway.

You don't have to be flawless. You are not required to shower me silverware every season, We don't have to be 'winning' all of the time. All you have to do now is put forth the effort and treat me with the respect that I deserve. Keep in mind that I am not compensated for being in this relationship. When I got into the relationship I knew It'll never be thrilling all of the time. Remember all those summers when we were mad at each other and ignored each other? Even so, I returned. I'm a regular visitor. You can't accuse me of not making an effort.

You are essential for generating friendships. Connections that last a lifetime, shared experiences, the unforgettable, and the heartbreaking. It's even more remarkable when the family come together. Young and aged side by side. Even if my best friend no longer visits, I can still close my eyes and remember those times. My love, it's all because of you. I guess I'll have to accept the fact that I'll never be able to get away from you. Whatever the case may be. We'll be together until the end of time.

Football, I wish you a happy Valentine's Day since you're always there to make me feel better whenever I need it. Though I may not be able to communicate my entire range of emotions, please know that I adore you.

Thanks for reading 💙
