A Love Letter to Dance

Dear Dance,

I have missed you greatly.  I can’t begin to explain how heartbroken I have been in your absence.  I’m not quite sure how we got estranged.  I think I started to doubt you.  Moreover, I started to doubt myself with you.  You were so good to me.  You always made me feel better when I was down.  I would wake up in the morning thinking about you and couldn’t wait to see you every day.  You had the answer to all of my woes.  But things became stagnant between us.  Seems like we reached a plateau and I didn’t know how to handle that.  Suddenly we weren’t doing the things we use to.  Our visits became less.  Our interaction lacked the passion it once had.  I started to view you as a chore.  At some point it became painful to be with you.  We still had our moments that were like old times.  That is what kept us together.  However, it wasn’t enough.  I even ventured out and tried to date others although none of them compared to you.  They still don’t compare to you.  When I am with you, I literally float on air.  I don’t even have to speak.  The smile on my face says it all.  Nothing else matters when we are together.  NOTHING!  You are like chicken soup to my soul.  Regardless of how long or how often we are separated, it’s always like the “first time” when we meet again.  I’m sorry I have let you down.  I started not to believe in you anymore.  I felt betrayed for awhile.  But now I realize it was me.  I started not to believe in me anymore.  When you reached out to me recently, I wasn’t sure how to respond.  I thought I was over you.  I was willing to accept that you had moved on and would no longer be a part of my life.  I had said my good bye for the last time.  However, when you touched me, I fell in love with you all over again.  And it feels so good!  I’ve come to realize that you are my soul mate.  No matter how much I try to leave you or you leave me, we will always come back to each other.  Why?  Because you are my TRUE love.  And because of that, I promise to NEVER leave you again.  We are one, always and forever!

Yours Truly,

A Dancer
