The bubble--I could almost physically feel it--that started at my toes and rose to my mouth, and I could feel it when it hit my stomach. It forced out a giggle, and pushed my toes up off the ground, just a little bit, and I could feel the music start to play at my fingertips, my toes, and my lips, teasing me, beckoning me, compelling me.
It came in an instant, and as fast as it came, it was gone, leaving only an empty space where a bubble used to be, forcing my heels back down onto the ground, taking the giggle out of my voice, and leaving the smile on my face the same painted one that has been there for months.
Hope? A reassurance that all is not lost? A sign that it's coming back, and that soon I'll feel that same life that I felt for so long, before it went away? Or is it all some cruel joke, just a taunting, tantalizing taste of what I used to have but don't anymore?
