Dear Basketball And so I ran.
I ran up and down every playground
From the right moment I gave you my heart
I fell in love with you. Because it came with so much more.
A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body I played through the sweat(汗水) and hurt
To my spirit & soul(灵魂). Not because challenge(挑战) called me
But because YOU called me.
As a six-year-old boy I did everything for YOU.
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel. You gave a six-year-old boy his dream
I only saw myself And I’ll always love you for it.
Running out of one. Love you always.
