Keys in A Minor

Since, I shattered my wrist, I get a break from training. I know I talk a lot about it, its on my mind a lot…dreaming of having that Olympic gold medal around my neck…There’s other things that are more important in my life tho.

I was home alone this afternoon, I was wandering around my house daydreaming. I came to my living room, sat down in front on my piano. I haven’t touch it a long time. The piano is gathering dust…almost an antique. I quickly dusted the piano off a bit, opened the cover up, revealing the black and white keys. I placed my fingers on the keys. My fingers instinctively played a melody familiar…yet appropriate. My fingers were a bit stiff and my wrist hurt as I played when I had to stretch my fingers to hit chords in multiple parts of the song…yet I still played. My fingers were playing...yet I didn’t recognize what melody it was. I kept playing until I reached the chorus of the song….

“My whole life has changed,
Since you came in, I knew back then,
You were the special one
I’m so in love, so deep in love
You made my life complete you are so sweet no one can be…”

I realized it was Ginuwine’s song “Differences”. I followed it up after with Joe’s song “I Want to Know” in a medley. My mind just flashed back, it was the song I played for Jess on our 6 months before she went back to Orange County, California. I remembered the tears that poured out of her eyes as I played and sang the song. I remembered it like yesterday. Tears of happiness…I never knew models cry. I haven’t made someone that happy in a while….I’ve brought a lot of hurt, anger and suffering to others including myself lately. I’m gonna turn that around. Jess…thanks for everything, I hope you are doing well in Cali, God Bless =)

I finished the song…put my hands on my lap, took my foot off the pedal and sighed. I looked outside, mesmerized by the beautiful day….sunshine…birds chirping. It’s a pity that I have a 12 page paper due Thursday. Time to get started on that…
