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.
