Friendly Memories

Today brought back a lot of painful memories. Old friends, new friends mingled together in one court. Shouldn't I be happy?

There I stood, in the middle. Should I step forward with new friends? Or should I step back with old friends and continue my journey? Surrounded by friends... Shouldn't I be happy?

A change of attitude. Will old friends be able accept me? A change of school again. Will I be able to let go of new friends? Meeting new and old people everyday. Shouldn't I be happy?

To step forward is to let go of new friends. It is hard to let go. To step back is to restart a new beginning with old friends. Old friendship after 4 years will never be the same. I can chose my destiny. Shouldn't I be happy?

Isolated in the middle, ignored by both side. No one to bother me, no one to annoy me, no one to bother me... Quiet, peaceful... just what I wanted. Shouldn't I be happy?

My memories versus my reality. My old friends versus my new friends. I should not live my past, but live my present and build the future. I have made up my mind: reality. Shouldn't I be happy?

Charging towards the net, serving a spin or two, slicing, slamming, smashing, doing everything from spinning, flat hits, and lobbing to win the mind game. Mental endurance is the key. Reality is by my side. Salt water splash out of your skin flooding the courts creating an ocean of war. Shouldn't I be miserable?

I was winning. Reality was rising. Memories was dying. Both side was having fun. But war must have an ending. Our war ended because of a single drop of tear. A single cry. A single flash of light. Shouldn't I be happy?
