From the time I first saw you
I knew it would be more
I found out if I made you mad
Our date would be gore
But when we spent more time together
Just me and you
Us against the world
I love you so much, more than any girl
The sound of your voice attracted me from the jump,
You keep coming back
When I was in a slump
Even if I turned you away for friends
I knew the next morning
We were friends
because after all you are my

that was good bro i like the metaphor makin it sound like it was about a girl...and givin the ball girl like qualities...
the title had me kind of lost. As I read more into it I thought it was about a girl. Then the end came and it was about a basketball. You did a nice job in using personification!!

Awesome example of "pulling the rug out from under the reader"!! And, what a creative title! How do you know how many bumps are on a bball? That's true love, for sure!

Good poem Jason, I like the creative title. " The sound of your voice attracted me from the jump"= lots of Imagery. I was wondering how long did it take you to count all those bumps on the basketball? LOL
