Cricket-My Valentine!!

Two years ago, was when my affair with cricket began,
My first match at the stadium, and I became a fan.
I'd expected to get bored, that one day in Jan,
Falling in love with cricket, was far from my plan!!

But I did end up falling, and falling hard at that,
It was like cupid had struck, and I'd fallen Flat..
There was something I realized, in those 8 hours that i sat,
I was throughly enticed, by this game of ball and bat!!

That night, I realized, how little I knew about the one I'd started to love,
The lack of knowledge irritated me, it got on my nerve...
So the next day I began researching, from every pitch to every reserve,
And I slowly began climbing, this beautiful learning curve!!

Today, there is no newspaper or article that I don't hound,
Through the years, my fascination has grown leaps and bounds..
When everything felt insane, Cricket has kept me sound,
It feels that in cricket, my soul-mate I've found!!

So as I sit back today and think of this support system of mine,
I feel happiness, a completeness I can't define.
So I get on my knees, and utter the worlds cheesiest line,
Cricket, my love, Will you be my Valentine??
