The opportunity for the perfect duet is out there somewhere;

you just haven’t found it yet

or she’s just not ready to take to the stage alongside you

& belt out auld lang syne as if no one else were around.

 

But you know exactly the kind of song partner who will be sitting across from you on those stools no one should eve be subjected to.

She’ll be kind, thoughtful, funny, never hesitating to put anyone else before herself, up for anything, & someone who can match you wit for wit.

& you promise to keep the mic warm for her until such time as she’s ready to see just how far vibrato can get you in the real world.
