once i was a photographer
and i captured the beauty of the world in black and white
that could never compare to the color of your movement
once i was a pianist
and i dreamt of accompanying you
for there is no dance without music
once i was a writer
and i composed symphonies of silence
to try to win your heart
once i was a choreographer
and i did create a work for you
even if so long ago
and once upon a time i was a someone like you
with big dreams of cacao and organic farms
saving the world and celebrating art
who would want to share everything and support your dreams
and more than once i got burned, got injured, slowed down
more than once i took the wrong path and experience
and more than once i moved farther and farther away
until you could no longer see or remember me
and it becomes thin like a piece of paper
a one dimensional representation of so much more
like a photograph of a dancer
