The story of Rolina and the piano player

Rolina was in love with a piano player. But she was only in love with part of him. She was in love with the part of him that did not play the piano. When he played the piano he seemed like a different person. She loved the music he created; it made her feel wondrous and it created joy in her that she could not explain. His music touched every emotion that she had ever felt and it provoked her thinking into places it had never been. But she could not understand what was happening to her when she heard his music. When he played the piano it was like she was stripped bare of everything she had ever been. His music revealed a part of her that she did not know was there. It touched parts of her self that she had never touched before.

When he played the piano she became a totally different person… and so did he. Those different people had a very different relationship than the two people who kept each other’s company while he was not playing the piano.

This was a big problem for Rolina for she did not know who she was in love with. Was it the man who sat at the piano and stretched her consciousness far beyond where it had ever been or was it the man she took walks through the countryside with? Was it the man she made love to or the man who melted her to the very core of her being with his music?
