I wonder how you caught me,
and lured me into your arms.
And how you besieged my soul,
without ever asking for it.
I wonder how you sometimes made me fly,
but yet again and again left me drowning.
And what can you possibly gain
by making me loose balance and faith.
I wonder if people around me
understand our love and connection.
You don’t make it any easier
with your ambiguous heart.
I wonder what is your nature,
are you my lover or my girl.
I sense your presence and hear your whisper;
“darling, I am clearly both.”
Ode to tango – by Gustav Wenneberg
Our goal is to create a megaphone for the voices of social tango dancers around the world. Would you like to share on this blog some tango thoughts that can help others on their tango journey? Let me know here. If you don't have Facebook, you can send an email here.

Bravo! Gustavo has beautifully encapsulated the love-hate relationship of a committed affair with tango.
