first love

I saw a man today on the subway 
Standing in a perfectly turned out first position
I can always spot dancers on the street 
The way they walk
The way their bun is twisted and pinned 
The way they move throughout the world 
I can see myself in them 
Sometimes it’s my biggest regret 
Cracking under the pressure 
Feeling like my body wasn’t right 
Letting myself hold me back 
I didn’t have the best feet 
I wasn’t the skinniest
I wasn’t crazy flexible without working at it 
But I was talented still 
I had a way of moving that was captivating 
I brought an emotive quality 
That training can’t teach 
I was an angry and angsty 17 year old 
I had come to resent this love of mine 
A decade of diehard devotion to this relationship 
And I ended it 
I snapped 
I miss it every day 
And I wonder all the time 
If we could possibly work things out 
If there is a world 
Where we could be together again

Most of art is about life experiences and what we go through in life use it

The world you're imagining is this one. You can do anything, any time. I'm not saying it'll be the same, or easy. But it's never too late unless you say it is 🙇🏻
