the sounds of love

This isn't about love or anything

There is something about sounds that when you hear them you just hear it nonstop and gives you the memories of past and things you wish you could. for instance the sound of the ball hitting a wood bat is describable. but when it hits you can instantly know if it will be a base hit or a foul ball. even though the professionals sound a lot different you can instantly tell if it was solid or not. another would be in bowling, when the ball hits the pocket the silence becomes a loud thundering sound but if you miss it just sounds like hammers fall over one at a time. and just sounds ugly.

the one sound that i wish i could make every day would be the sound of a skateboard landing a massive trick. as soon as the wheels touch down a short but meaningful sound belches out. as soon as i hear it i think about how long and how much time they worked to just try that trick, also how much pain they went through just to land one simple trick. and yet i will never know the feeling.
