"Since I left Dresden
I began training too hard.
Pushing myself beyond my limits.
Expecting too much.
"Well, I didn't win.
Not even close.
"I stayed away from home without
my trophy or my love.
"And all this time I've been
hiding out. Angry at myself.
Frustrated and embarrassed.
"But helping others,
seeing how much more alive they can be
made me realize
just how much I'd given up myself.
"And now,
for the first time in a very long time
I want to dance again.
"So I need to thank you -
thank you for helping me to see this.
"I hope now
I get to see you
and dance with you again...
