relationships/rockets

I realized something.
back in early December, this girl that I was seeing tells me that she got two tickets for the ROckets game at Madison Square Garden.

NOw at the time, I thought, this is the one!
she goes out of her way and scores big bonus points.

what I should have realized then is that our whole relationship is EXACTLY like that fateful December 3rd evening.

When it all started, everything was great. We moved very quickly and we communicated well. things couldn't have been better.
for a while , things were so perfect I thought I couldn't lose.

then we took a break to discuss things. when we came back from the timeout, we continued our solid play, but slowly, the offense started to slow down.
clearly the momentum was fading. I could see the end of the game was near and I wasnt getting anywhere.
the situation was out of hand and things were falling apart.

and at the buzzer, it was I standing there, alone, with my ticket in my hand with nothing but a loss.
