Second draft: Ode to dance(revised letter form)

Dear Dance

Hello! I’m Lee Kangbok. I’m fine thank you and….Hey, let’s stop this kind of boring thing.

I mean after all, we aren’t this far from each other to say those boring formal greetings. Do you remember? We were very close friends back in elementary school. Ever since I saw you from the book, I tried hard to be a close friend with you. I struggled to find opportunity to meet you, and finally I found you in an academy. From then, we became great friends.

You, also known as "locking", were so powerful and energetic. As time passes, and as we became close friends, I could feel your true mind and feeling. You always tried to draw a laugh of other people, and people responded to your effort. In addition, I became curious about your brothers: popping and b-boying. They had different appeals than you. Popping had robot-like attraction that dazed people, and b-boying showed rotational power that seemed impossible to be possessed by human. I loved your family and I became friend with your brother, popping, too.

However, what happened at middle school? Actually, it was my fault. There was a big dilemma between you and study, and I chose study. At that time, I personally thought that it would be beneficial for my life, and I had a hard time trying to forget you. I unconsciously noticed that I would not have the time to meet you in my life any more. Throughout middle school life, I studied hard to not regret selling out on you. As a result, I almost forgot about you and the relationship between you and me became so distant…

However, we met again in High School. It was great to meet you again, and I decided to recover our relationship. In high school, I even got the nickname “BokshinMachine” because of you. Nevertheless, because the gap of three years was too long, we couldn’t be close enough.

To be honest, I really want to reclaim you. But… I am not confident that it is possible. Sometimes, I regret my decision in middle school, but I think an accidental meeting in high school can surely bring us closer again.

My friend, I apologize that I gave up our relationship and forgot about you, I really miss the time when we hung around joyfully. I will try my best to restore my self-confidence towards you. Thus, would you also try hard to retrieve our friendship and hang around with me again?

Your true friend,

Lee Kangbok
