As we change for our first match,
I glance at her from across the tent.
She's starring back,
With much content.

My heart beats just a little faster,
Can anyone else hear this?
My thoughts of love,
And a hopeful kiss.

It is time now for the match.
As I grow nervous and anxious,
She is calm,
Totally unconscious.

Of the way I feel towards her,
How I want to hold her in my arms,
Everything right,
Nothing to harm.

Out on the field we stand ready,
The whistle blows and we're in the air,
Spreading out,
With care.

She scores once, and then again,
Katie is forever my girl,
A shot on me,
Around I wirl.

I almost let the ball in the hoop,
How detrimental that would be,
For my dear Katie,
To have to see.

"Nice save Wood!" she yells to me.
A rush of joy overwhelms me,
She likes me.
She likes me.
