Two weeks ago you breezed into my life. Since then, you’ve consumed my every waking moment with your beautiful games, your singing, your drama. I’ve replayed your cheeky touches in my dreams. I quit my job for you. I couldn’t eat. My relationships, in tatters. But it was worth it. You brought the world to my door. Enchanted me with your acrobatic grace and fiery passion, enticed me to overlook your troubling dimensions. I was bitten, you could say.

And now today, nothing. You’re gone. Incommunicado. Oh ‪#‎WorldCup soccer, why must you taunt me so!
