after cross

it's the end
and it's all over

no more cross ever again
unless heaven forbid
i do retain
heh

i'm gonna miss trainings
for sure i will
3:18s and so
while there's still track to come
it's never the same training for cross

so we didnt win
but i must say it was an open battle
and we were still on course till the last 1k or so

the difference this year is that there weren't tears
perhaps one or two regrets
but generally we were all alright
it's not that we weren't expecting to win at all
i think we were always in with a shout
and today's race did nothing to dispel that

but it was what we found
over the course of these few years
it sounds cliched
and perhaps very fake
but after years of thinking that way
i've come and we've come
to thinking perhaps, otherwise

and what i want to do is just to type it here
also for the sake of the vj team
if they do come here
the ah hua and the farrel
that cross-country is not all about the title
sure, we set out to do it
and when we don't we have nothing to show for it
and that means everything we've done is nothing
but i feel that though cross is over
the team will never be
the title wouldnt mean so much to you
if the team didnt mean anything to you
team spirit is not a stepping stone to cross glory
cross glory is a stepping stone to team spirit,
the ultimate prize of cross

the title is lost
but the memories are for yours to keep
the team will live on in your life forever
and that is the gift that comes of your curse
