Tango, are you there?

A tribute to the international day of tango

Tango, are you there?

I am looking left and right, and I don’t see your embrace.

Have you perished?

No, it can’t be.

You have been through worse times.

And you came out a winner.

You know, I dream of you sometimes.

I remember the split second before our chests touch.

I feel your arms around me.

I see you, you are not alone, I care, you told me more times than I remember.

And I remember.

Why am I telling you all this?

I didn’t want to talk.

I wanted to dance.

Tango, are you there?

I am calling your name, and I am not alone.

The whole world is calling your name.

And their voices are getting louder.

They call you “embrace”, “contact”, “being with friends”.

They call you “touch”, “compassion”, “connecting with loved ones”.

They call you “release”, “healing”, “letting go”.

I call you tango.

You have been through worse times.

And you will come out a winner, soon.

The world is calling.

Tango, are you ready?
