Where Football Feels Closest

Football is not always at the centre.
And yet it never leaves entirely.

In an unguarded moment —
the habit of pausing,
the decision to let the tension go —
the old feeling shows its face again.

Where Football Feels Closest is an ART piece that accepts a state in which
something that is no longer the lead role
keeps working quietly, deep in a life.

You don’t need to recover the passion.
You don’t need a reason to begin again.
Even so,
there is no need to deny
that football is still mixed into how you choose,
and into the distance you keep.

Close does not mean within reach.
It means you no longer have to try to forget.

This work does not exist to remind you of football.
It is placed here to quietly acknowledge
that football has already dissolved into your days
as a part of who you are.

Not at the centre.
But not gone either.
A single piece for realising that this distance
was the most natural one all along.
