Analysis of 2021/01/17 ~ Love and Basketball
Cheyenne Seaman 2003 (Philadelphia)
Love's a lot like a game of basketball.
You dribble. You aim. You shoot. You fall.
You pick up the pieces and try again
Because all that matters is the end.
Every little shot, every single aim
Is another step towards a victory gained.
Love's a lot like a game of basketball.
You dribble. You aim. You shoot. You fall.
