Urge to Play

So i used to play the piano. I guess i still can if i brush up. It hasn't been that long since i stopped playing.... or has it?? close to 4 yrs maybe?

I was at the library, and this library happens to have a downstair art class. In that class, there was this piano just sitting there. Then i suddenly had this urge to just sit at on the piano bench, open up the piano and just play it. Course there was a class going on. I couldn't do that.

Then i went to church. During lunch there was this piano, sitting at the corner of the room. I kept staring at it. I had this urge to run my fingers across the keys. It was so weird. Musical notes, keys, pieces, songs, scale, so many things that i had learned......all just came back to me in a flash.

Course, my parents were talking to the pastor, when he suddenly turns to me and asks me if i knew how to play any musical instruments. I didn't get a chance to reply, my dad answered for me. And what DO you expect him to say? Duh~

"She USED to play the piano........ "

I thought he'd just nod his head and change the topic, but surprisingly he smiled at me and said i could help out by playing the piano.

You could say i was neither dissapointed nor excited, but i was really hoping i could play at least one song again. Alone. Especially the song that i took forever to learn..."A Few of my Favorite Things" sung by Julie Andrews from the "Sound of Music" that is my favorite piece. I just feel like playing that song over and over.

It would be a wonderful feeling to be able to play the piano again. I was never really interested in piano while i was learning. Now its different. I don't know why, but i feel like learning it on my own this time. I'm sure i can pick up really quickly and easily after playing and practicing a few times. It would be fantastic, to be able to play during church even.

But hey i can dream all i want. I'm not going to go anywhere unless i do something about it. I need an opportunity. I'll grab it.
