For My No. 1, Marat Mikhailovich Safin

It has been five months since I saw you play,

I miss you more than words can say,

The way you play the backhand,

Makes you look more than a strong man,

Five months is how long I've waited to see you again,

This period of time almost drove me insane,

I know that to support you is tough,

But to see you win, it's more than just enough,

When will you ever see...

How much you victory means to me?

All that has happened to you, it looks as if you don't care,

But I do know that deep down inside you think it's unfair,

It hurts me so much to see you in pain,

My feelings for you are so hard to explain,

I prayed for you whenever you play,

Whether it's on hardcourt, grass or clay,

If only I can take away the pain in your wrist,

With only just one kiss,

Everytime my eyes are covered with tears,

I wonder if my feelings for you are serious,

But afterall you don't even know that I exist,

Do you know how sad it is to feel like this?

I wish to see the Marat Safin before,

The one who's victorious, strong and tall,

Whether or not you'll know I exist,

You will always be the one I miss,

No matter what happens, I will still pray,

That you will be on the top again one day,

After all I have done,

Now all I ever want,

Is for you to be number one,

I don't care how much time you will take,

Will you do it for my sake?

I wish to dedicate this to you, Marat Safin,

I hope you know what all of these mean,

I've written and posted it,

Without knowing whether you will even take a look at it,

All that I wish is that you will appreciate what I've done,

Deep down in my heart, you are always my number one.
