Dancing In The Dark

Everybody's Different

   Anton stopped dancing and the bedroom light was turned back on. Jeff laid on the floor looking a little bit sad. "What's wrong, Jeff" Anton asked. No response. Just dark eyes moving around. So he asked again. Jeff remained silent and closed his eyes for about five seconds. Finally he began to respond.
   "It's funny. The dancing represents you. The lights being off represents me. You have a lot of charisma and that's a very good thing. As you may notice, I'm not as charismatic as you. I'm ok with it. Everyone's different including you and I. But what do we have in common". Anton was a little unsure about the things they have in common except for the fact for their musical ability. Right out of nowhere Jeff felt a tear come down his eye. More and more came slowly.
   That however made him ask Anton a question. "Do all tears look the same". Jeff looked curious but emotional. "Well, tears have the same characteristic that humans have, they all come in different shapes and sizes. If we're different, our tears are too. Unless your twins, everyone has a different appearance. Everyone, even twins, have different characteristics. Some are the same, but definitely not all of them.  No matter how you look, dress, speak, feel, or act, I understand you." Anton gave Jeff a hug and told him not to cry. Jeff's prediction might have just came true.
