This is another song I found through dance, and I can only relate to it more today. The choreography for this is my favorite by far and I'm so bummed that I can't find a video of the guy who I learned it from.
Dance was my life, and I met my ex through dance. When we broke up, I lost all my dance friends and connections, lost a part of me that had been there for half my life, lost something that I now only look back and yearn for.

"A dancer dies twice — once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." - Martha Graham.

I've technically died twice already. Once when I stopped in middle school because the studio I was at was too harsh, then I joined another one a year later because I missed dance and couldn't stay away. The second time was when I had to leave home to go to college. Dance meant everything to me, and losing that experience, that bond, that feeling of being able to learn and do anything. I couldn't feel it anymore. I can't go to my old studio without wanting to breakdown in want to just do what I did again. Join a group or class in college? That's like saying "go transfer schools. They teach the same stuff" it's not the same.
