The story that wasn’t

Twirling to the song,
I giggle endlessly

Trying to plie and flip
As I open my arms
Not sure if
I should move along
To this catchy beat
That’s taking me away
To the world of happiness
As I go on with my sway

What was that phrase
In the ‘Kite Runner’?
“They only let you
be this happy
When they’re preparing to take
Something from you”
Well let’s just risk this once
I will see what to do
So I take a leap
To get in to that place
But guess I’ll fall
And break my legs

Jittery, I close my eyes
Waking up to realize
I was dreaming all along
Of the things that I want
But what’s the harm
To give it a try?
Let me play the song
And live the dream
In real life

So now I’m twirling to the song
And I’m giggling endlessly.
