Duet

Scared

Nervous

Terrified.

We step

One

At

A

Time

Onto

The stage.

Chairs.

Stands.

Folders.

Music.

Piano music,

Starting.

And we enter.

I know this

You know this

We both know what it means.

Notes.

Rhythm.

I get lost in the sound

Hiding, partly,

Burying myself in

The music.

You've done this before

I haven't.

I remind myself

That I knew

From day one.

That I knew

I knew

We needed to do this.

I knew we could.

I knew we should.

We needed

A partnership

A collaboration

Dipping and diving,

Soaring and flying,

Background,

Supportive,

It helps, having that

But we got this, don't we?

And I can feel

That we do.

Undoubtedly

This is what we are for

Why we are here.

To share this.

It sounds

So good

And feels

Even better.

A perfect balance

Between two instruments.

Reading off of each other's cues,

Falling into sync,

Adapting,

Adjusting,

Always.

It's so natural.

It's so easy.

When I go up,

And you go down.

We match each other's sound

Perfectly.

Yes,

This is what I want,

I think.

A perfect night

A perfect duet

Despite some mistakes

And a perfect

Bond.

  • Story of my life

    I could pretend to be happy

    When the world is ending

    And you'd all believe me

    I'm a great actor

    But never onstage

     

    I can say I'm happy for you

    Congrats that's so cool

    When under it all

  • It's hard

    It's hard

    It's really hard

    When there are so many people to balance all the time

    So many personalities

    So many conversations

    Overlapping

    Talking over each other

    So many big emotions

  • I think

    I think you make me really happy

    I think it’s sort of all-consuming

    I think I want to be with you every second

    Of every day

    I think maybe what keeps me up at night

    Is replaying you

    Replaying us
