I Pledge Allegiance...
At the oath ceremony to become a citizen, I waited for something to come over me. A feeling that says: I am so happy and grateful to be apart of ...
Then I got distracted.
They met there. Made an instant connection. Playing as if no judge were speaking of great truths, no names where being debaucherously mispronounced as people traded in their greencards for certificates, no notions of grandeur and transformations were being impressed upon them. Never paying heed to the "big day."
To tell you the truth, I'm still waiting. The whole process felt kinda numb. Instead I watched the these kids. Sometimes when you don't feel a thing, it could be because you're feeling too much.
Thought overload...must sit down...PLOP...sigh.

Oh to be young again. I remember the day I was in court and there was this cute little girl there. She distracted me.
I don't think I really felt much of anything except nervousness. I had never been in a court before.
Ok, so the girl in pink is you, who's the boy?
