Wrote the bit After WC 26 thought I would share with you guys who share the same feeling.
O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN
It's Inevitable Everything That's Good Comes To The END, BUT....
You were beautiful on field you were as the Peter Drury said were the point of difference and you will always be the point of difference for me because I'll never watch the football from same perspective because growing up watching you the choice that 14 years old me made to support barcelona and to choose you as my favorite player watching you become the Greatest player ever not that I had any doubt even then, best choice I ever made. Football is gonna be there and I will be watching but the way you changed the game for me always expecting magic when you touch it, no goal , no assist , no dribble , no pass ever gonna surprise me because you've shown me all in the purest form, there ain't gonna be another one, my childhood is over today because now I've to talk like there used be a player, I don't wanna accept it but I can't ask you for one more miracle like I did in 2016 and you gave me too many miracles after that one, so you've earned you peace enjoy your time doing what you love the 2nd most because we all know the 1st is and always will be football. You don't know I exist but that won't stop me from giving you a teary eye farewell because you brought out the joy I never thought I had in me and only those who experienced the great joy can cry remembering them. You will be gone from limelight I will carry on with my life but that 50gb folder of Messi videos that I have in my 15 year old laptop and the Messi wallpaper folder in phone that I've been carrying with me through different phones will always be there, those barca jersey that I've never dared to throw away because it has your name on it will always be in cupboard and ofcourse the drop of tear in my eye whenever I am gonna read this will also be there. Because you've done so much to bring joy to me and countless other human who you don't even know exists. From the little boy from nalkheda to little boy from Rosario Santa fe Thank you Leo, you will always be My GOAT and will always be the person I'll tell my kids and others with pure joy. Thank you.
