There's no honer in a stalemate.
If I could only change those last few moves but too late.
If I could reassess my strategy on clean slate.
But I'm not polished at the art of neatly taking my opponent apart.

Spent all my youthful days at kids games.
Mastering romance was never my aim.
I've wanted so long only to treasure the Noble pursuit of innocent pleasure.

There's no reason for a rematch.
If I'd just stop to think before I jump, can she catch.
Or remember sometimes there's an itch you don't scratch.
But I'm not polished at the art of keeping my face from expressing my heart.

I still remember some old kids game.
And conquering lovers just isn't the same.
I so long to help you treasure the Noble pursuit of innocent pleasure.

This is a noble longing ... and this lovely write can be the first step. Probably we need to apply the quality of "innocence" to a wider range of pleasures ...

Very interesting and clever, Made me smile
still remember some old kids game.
And conquering lovers just isn't the same.

Perhaps it is the logical following of childhood....
