And that’s OK. I’m ready tolet you go. I want you to know now So we both can savor every moment we have left together. The good and the bad. We have given eachother All that we have. And weboth know, no matter what I do next I’ll always be that kid With the rolled upsocks Garbage can in the corner :05 seconds on the clock Ball in my hands. 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 Love youalways, Kobe
