my first love

You have to understand

When someone says “basketball”

I don’t think of a perfectly executed 1-3-1

I don’t think of one of MJs last second shot still-frames

No,

When someone says “basketball”

I think of a hot summer night

no wind

a million stars

and a garage light on

so I can see the ball go through the net.

…

Happy March Madness – I knew I couldn’t make it through all of March without talking about basketball. 🙂

love always, caitlin

  1. Your slice brought back memories of the same for me! While basketball isn’t my current love, I remember those nights with the exterior garage lights on, sweat dripping down my back, trying to keep up with my sister (and later my brothers). Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

  2. I love the flow of your simple lines. I’m from Indiana and we take March Madness pretty seriously. I’m not a huge basketball fan, but you captured the essence of your heart for basketball through your lines.

  4. I’m going through the email notifications from the month of March and I came across this one. Just wanted to say, I talk about basketball all the time. It was a relationship I didn’t know I’d find, but I’m so happy that I did.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🙂
