A LOVE SONG - PART 9

FAREWELL AUNT SARA, REST IN PARADISE

The passing of Aunt Sara had her thinking
about him and all the fun times they shared
the back and forth, the ups and downs
a battered heart beaten beyond repair

Homegoing services for Sara V Adams
Private Memorial
Location and time
disclosed only to the family

As she dressed for the service
the memories attacked:
the shower - the closed lip kiss
the drying off and lotioned up - losing teeth and
fish funeral
the pantyhose - first cooked lunch
the blackdress - things are starting to run together
perfume and accessories - prom night, the bitch Ingrid,
the stripper and her baby
makeup, hair, look in the mirror---SNAP OUT OF IT
this mess is crazy she thought

She walked in signed the book, got a program took a deep breath
and started walking slowly looking straight ahead
right then and there she made up her mind, she was not sticking
around
O my she thought, Aunt Sara looked like she was sleeping, not a
wrinkle in sight, O wow, cant be, was her wig on crooked

His thoughts as he watched: DAMN, she looks good, look at her
all grown up, I want her back-no,no I love Ingrid

After she said goodbye and a silent prayer, she turned and
double-timed it outta there, speaking and making eye contact with
no one

WHO WAS THE BODY IN THE HOT BLACK DRESS - Derrick thought, as
he watched her walk out of his life (for now)......

What the what- ain't it funny how things happen?
It ain't over, Stay tuned-----

A LOVE SONG - PART6

(HOW DO RUMORS GET STARTED)

Nosey Josey told Barbara, who told Charlotte, who told Evelyn, who told Marissa. who told Rachael. who told anybody that would listen......

After the Ingrid fiasco, she survived and progressed on in life
got her masters degree, ran a sucessful business and became a married to
the job kinda wife
Sitting in her office, door open this is what she heard
(they were talking about him)

You know he married a stripper in Vegas, right
no- he married a Vegas stripper and she has a son
no- he married a stipper she has 2 kids and he has a son
nope that's wrong he married a stripper across town
and she left her son in Vegas with her parents
to finish school
Well I heard he married a stripper but she a Lawyer now
no- no he married his sister's stripper friend and she has
a little girl
and so forth and so on (blah, blah, blah)

Her co-worker friend, knocked on the open door and walked in her office
said, I know you hear that mess they talkin but girl I kinow the truth

*** Before he married Ingrid, he met this stripper the night he turned 21
they were together for over a year and a half, they have a son named
Jake (cute as a button), I know all this because Mary is my cousin****

She thanked her friend for the info, closed up shop and quietly exit left
a little shocked, dazed--gut punched in the stomach and really needing air
and she didnt want them catty women looking at her to share, compare or stare

A son she thought to a stripper aint that about a trip
whatever, that's his business, because I refuse to cuss and flip
She headed straight to CORDOVA'S to eat and have a stiff drink
she didnt want to be left alone to sit around and think
she ate, she drank and people watched, she drank and people watched
then went completely still, this song came on (Tonight is the night)
it took her back about 7 years, lost in thought, rememba graduation
REWIND--the night of the horrible FIGHT....

STAY TUNED IT AIN'T OVER----

A LOVE SONG - PART5

A LOVE SONG -PART 5

(MARY MAJOR A.K.A. MAJOR KANE)

HIS NIGHT....

ME and my boys , all 6 of us got together
the night I turned 21
we went to THE BEAUTY booty club
we was loud, we was wild, we had drinks, we got drunk
we had fun (in that smoke filled room)

Next, coming to the stage, I introduce to you
MAJOR KANE
as her music played, she came out wearing a
drill sargent hat a knee length army green raincoat
loooonnng ass legs and a fat ass to match
she strutted her stuff like nobody's business
when she dropped that raincoat to reveal
a camouflage bra and a camouflage thong
I got hard as wood and my drunk went out the window
and I knew I had to have her, I knew I had to have her
I talked to someone, who talked to someone,
who talked to someone, arrangements were made
important people were paid, we met after club
closing round back

Her real name was Mary Major, she was about to
graduate nursing school stripping helped her achieve this
we did our thing for a year and a half after that first kiss
it wasnt love, it was complicated, I could'nt even explain it
all I know, we had a real good thing and I didnt want to quit
she achieved her goals, I achieved my goals and everything
was great
it didnt matter to her that Ingrid had my heart and that's
the part I hate

On the intercom: call on line 1, it's Mary - my secretary said
hey u, what's up I answered after I hit the button that was red
sorry to bother you at work she said, but my check didnt come yet
I need a few things do you think you can give a loan
sure no problem, I said, I'll drop it off later--- while I'm there
can I make you scream and moan
she laughed, said yeah, I got some new lingerie-light blue satin and silk
and on your way over here can you stop at the store and get the baby some milk......


SAY WHAT? a baby (yes a son-named Jake- cute as a button)
(THE SECRETARY- NOSEY JOSEY- LISTENED TO THE WHOLE CONVERSATION, LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS)
stay tuned...It ain't over

A LOVE SONG- PART3

(AFTER 3 DAYS IN A BLURR- SIMMERING THOUGHTS)

WTF he mean he's marrying Ingrid in Vegas, how can this be
this lovesong was suppose to be about him and me (you see)

at the age of 3 - we kissed (closed lipped)
at the age of 5 - we lost are 2 front teeth at the same time
at the age of 10 - we cry'd at a fish furneral when his goldfish died
at the age of 13 - we ate my first cooked lunch (grilled cheese and tomatoe soup)
at the age of 15 - we tried our first smoke, almost died from laughing so hard
when you choked on the smoke that got caught in your throat

during all this there was (Sunday School, Bible study, Vacation bible school
and summer camp) best friends

at the age of 16 - we both learned how to drive, you had your old rusty truck
a bright yellow beatle bug was mine

at the age of 17 - we were busy studying for the college exam, talking careers
and making future plans

at the age of 18 - we went to the prom, I still have the pictures and my pretty
pink dress

A few weeks later we graduated, are parents were so proud
it was the beginning of a beautiful night

BUT THEN AGAIN

it was also the night of that terrible fight

Now that I think about it, he was keeping Ingrid a secret from me
a lovesong gone wrong, a out of tune lover was he to be
tight lipped and closed mouth, the greatest secret he ever kept hid
leaving me with this one little question, WHO THE HELL IS THIS INGRID?

A LOVE SONG- PART2

(AFTER THE WOW)

He ran his fingers thru his hair and said:
Man, how come I never knew about your feelings
I had'nt a clue until today
I'm seriously shocked, stunned and completely blown away
I mean really we never entertained the thought of crossing
that invisible frienship line
we've never kissed as grown-ups and now your telling me
your idea of me and you is nowhere close to mine
your my homie, my buddy and a really special friend
this is a joke right, I'm being punked...ok I give up,you win
her face told it all: no joke,I'm dead serious, I'm not playin
the tears welled up in her eyes, can you feel what I'm sayin

She said:
so the dinners, the pictures, vacations that we took
the dances, the movies, we even shared are very first book (Dr.Seuss, of course)
and I bet you dont even remember are very first fight
we got so mad at each other, ok lets forget about that night
O remember the time your aunt Sara fell and her wig came off
it was wrong, but we laughed anyway
O and what about the time we left Sparkey in the car with a bucket of chicken
he left no crumbs, ate all the chicken, BONES AND ALL--(lol)
O and remember that day we, STOP IT- HE YELLED, I see what your doing
lets get back to the present and talk about this song
yes, some great times and memories because we've known each other for so long
and I love you back in a special kinda way
But you see, I'm getting married to Ingrid, in Vegas
we're leaving today------


BAM!!!!!--bet you did'nt see that coming (oooo it ain't over)
to be continued

A LOVE SONG

A LOVE SONG (The Very Beginning)

(Yes, they know each other)

She wrote this man a love song, pouring out her heart
with trembling fingers and a million n one thoughts
she even used the "L word" which wasnt easy to do
for fear of a busted up heart, leaving it black and blue
she wrote about the future and possibly becoming his wife
scratched it out and changed it up and wrote about her life
she wrote about the good times and all the fun they had
she wrote about how the good times definately outweighted the bad
she wrote about being best friends, then she thought this can never be
they did kindergarten time together and now their both 23
she handed him the lovesong and was ready to runaway
he said, wait, where are you going, I need for you to stay
so she stood there frozen in time, one eye closed and a raised eyebrow
he read the words straight-faced, then smiled and just said WOW!


So what do you think was the outcome?
In today's world the word WOW has so many different meanings?
Do you think this is the response she was looking for?
Have you ever had a WOW moment, where your expectations were a different outcome?

Sometimes you can come at a person thinking your on the same page, only to find
out, for whatever reason, there page is written totally different. Then again
maybe they ended up together, forever, riding off into the sunset...........
