I COME TO THE BASKETBALL COURT AND YOU ARE NOT THERE!

I came to the basketball court
And you were not there!
Did you forget or don't you like the game
Or do you want to sit with others
Watching silly IPL matches
And eating junk food
I came to the basketball court
And you were not there!
Have you forgotten the rhythms
Of playing one on one
Or the pushing and shoving
That bares our souls to each other
I came to the basketball court
And you were not there!
Did you forget the `fake' of fakes
Which left me wrong-footed
Standing, gaping at the awesome
Simple shot that you made
I came to the basketball court
And you were not there!
How can you leave me lonely
Dribbling alone and hoping
Hoping that you will come
And I then can exult in joy
I came to the basketball court
And you were not there!
Remember, we vowed to play
To bring out the best in each other
To be always in the opposite team
And yet remain best of friends
I came to the basketball court
And you were not there!
I know there are other things
I know you can't live on basketball alone
I KNOW - I KNOW - YET I WANT YOU ON THE COURT
I come to the basketball court
Hoping you will come!
