• I cant play,
    I don’t play,
    “I’ll teach you,”
    How?
    “Take a deep breath,”
    “And dribble the ball,”
    “Use your legs and not your scrawny arms”

    I remember the way you where on the basketball court,
    How long has it been?
    2,3,4 years?
    Its been the longest 6 years of my life,
    The loneliest 6 years of my life,
    But god, you where something to watch,

    Lets play one on one,
    And see who’s the best at this game,
    It never was a game it our LIFE,
    I wanted to travel across the globe,
    And be known as the WNBA star,
    You wanted to be a coach
    You wanted to be my coach,

    We where unstoppable,
    Unreachable,
    Brother and sister duo,
    I took the inside,
    And you took the outside hooks,
    And when our opponents figured out,
    How we worked,
    We’d switch it out, and give them a surprise,
    We where…undefeated,
    But more than that we had each other…
    At least we did.

    Ever since you…..
    I’m afraid, that if I take those outside hooks,
    Ill mess up, mess up bad,
    I’m afraid of the 3pointers,
    I’m afraid to take them,
    The irony is…14 was our lucky number…
    And you left me on the 14th,
    You died December 14,
    And I was 14 on the basketball team…before I quit that is…
    And in PE…I’m in group 14 with a guy who has your amazing
    3 pointer shots,
    Happy birthday Mikey…you had to pick December 14 to be born didn’t you?
