Those two days

Two days

Was all it took.

A day of rehearsals;

Discussing, analyzing, perfecting -

And then the day

We performed.

The day that changed everything.

I gave myself to the notes on the page,

Those two days;

I poured every essence of myself,

My heart and my soul,

Into it without realizing.

I fell in love with the song

And it ripped my heart from my chest.

I have never felt heartbreak

Such as what I felt when I had to walk out of that room.

I have never felt

Anything that strong.

The passion those two days created in me

Burns.

It burns unstoppable

Bright

And bold.

What started as a hobby

Became my redemption.

Dipping and diving,

Weaving and flying,

Soaring and cascading as an ocean of sound.

I have never felt so free.

There are technicalities, yes

Nuances

But the power I felt

Lies in the feeling.

In the

Emotion.

And not only did I get to share it

With someone I love

But with other people who work

Just as hard as I do.

During those two days,

I found myself within the song.

Those two days

Meant everything.

Those two days

Became who I am, 

And made me want to love

Fight for

Live in

The world they represent.

The world the music touched.

I write this

For those two days

And for what I hope will become

Forever many more.
