Hoops

by Dark Angel - Pisces


I looked outside today when I got downstairs to turn the computer on
I saw your basketball hoop laying out in the yard
I suppose your dad must have taken it down last night.

So I'm guessing that there will be no more cool evening games of shooting some hoops
No more around the world
No more HORSE
No more one on one.

I always hated playing one on one with you
You'd always beat me
But I suppose it was a little unfair
You do have longer arms and legs than I.
But I always turned right back around 
And I could whip you good at around the world.

I suppose it's another phase to growing older
I've gotta let go of the past
But I'll always remember those cool summer evenings
When the sun was setting and not glaring in our eyes
The sky had turned its shades of blue, purple, and orange
You'd walk through the yard to come and get me
And we'd shoot some hoops and talk of good times.
