Knockout

Knockout:

Leg kick, checked. I think "owe that hurt". 1,2,1,2, head kick but you evaded like McGregor putting in work. I shoot for the legs but your sprawl put my face in the dirt
(Pause)...

"I can't do this," I think but you give me more hope with a smile and a wink. Your guard's up but that beautiful long red hair and perfect smile make my guard sink.

(Pause)...

It would be easy to blame you for my pitiful feelings. However I should thank you for what you're revealing. I have to slow down, gain composure, and relax. Then I'll be willing.

Willing to let you win because my battle with myself is more important than fighting the ice cold shield around your heart. Why take the emotional games from you, while also defending against my own savage onslaught? See ive been down this road before and ive fought and ive fought. I only won the last time because inner peace is what I sought.

(Pause)...

I won't get knocked out!
