She’s Moved On

My daily commute takes me past a large park with multiple soccer fields, always empty Monday through Friday. But when I made the dreaded Saturday trip to work this past weekend and saw several games taking place on a perfect fall soccer morning, I felt something strange. It was like unexpectedly spotting an old girlfriend smiling in a crowd without her knowing you were there and noticing that she had moved on.

Did I give it everything I had? Yeah, I think so.
