Do You Love Me Too?

I really didnt know much about you until that fall of 1994.  Plenty of people had already enjoyed your beauty and all pleasure you had to offer.  Then finally someone had the nerve to acually introduce me to you, and needless to say i didnt like you at all. I decided even then, to be faithful to you and try to get to know you because there was something about you that intrigued me.  Then it happened, May of 1995 i fell in love with you. I remember it like it was yesterday a balmy night in South Plainfield, New Jersey during the 4x400.  It was then i knew even as a 15 year old sophomore in high school that we were meant for each other.

And here we are today 12 years later and more in love than ever, but i must admit things have not always been pretty. For the last half of our relationship i have watched you out with others, claiming how much they love you only to abuse you and chemically seduce you to make you believe they are better than what they really are. I stood by your side the whole time remaining faithful and understanding, but through it all perplexed and hurt.  And now It's the the time of year again when i everybody gets all excited and over prepared to meet you  because this is a big year for you. And here i am doing the same as everyone else trying to fight for your attention when i have been standing next to you the whole time.

It will be a few months until I'll actually see you again because you have been away this summer overseas all over the television hardly hiding your indfidelity. I'm more prepared than ever this time to finally work things out with you and make things right. But before i take another warmup lap or feel the slow, aching, enduring pain of repeat 400's.... Will you just finally tell me.....Do you love me too?

I'll go on record as saying thats a great post right there.

I've thought of track as a girlfriend/relationship before, but never quite so seemingly poetic like. Very well done. Looking forward to seeing your posts often.
