TENGO CORAZON

what were the chances that i'll be at brix today?

what were the odds the live band would play a bachata?

how the hell would anyone expect they'd play "tengo corazon"?

the moment they did though, i looked around me...and found no one.

i walked towards arthur and asked if he could dance it with me.

and while we were just swaying to it...i cried.

right there and then, i cried.

i closed my eyes.

when it ended, arthur thanked me for one of the best bachatas he's ever danced.

and i realized that the best bachatas i've ever danced were those when i was feeling vulnerable and sad.

i'd just shut my eyes, lean on the lead's shoulder and let him lead me.

so thank you, guys, for getting me off my ass and onto the dancefloor today.

thank you wayne, sebastian, for holding me tight during our bachatas.

it seemed like you knew i was going to fall.

but it just became all the more painful because of "chan chan" and "tengo corazon".

it happened again...the crying by the pool.

it's time to come back down to earth now, serene.
