I chose a piece that I learned a long time ago. It always fascinated me because it's so simplistic, yet when I would play it seemed to express such a complex pain, one that wasn't yet in me. But now every note says a hundred words, words that I can hardly formulate but somehow seep out of my mind into my body and through my fingers, materializing into vibrations. And I keep thinking, if I can just not mess this up, if I can just play this piece perfectly, maybe she can feel what's in my heart and maybe it can start to heal us both.
