"No Ordinary Love" - Sade
What a Tuesday this turned out to be. It started at 7:06A. Who knew one line with two simple words can carry such a powerful punch? But it was definitely expected and surprisingly it didn't hurt as much as the slap in the face did last night. Fortunately, I was well prepared this time to leave well enough alone. I only had a couple of hours before the big show and I needed to make sure I arrived stunning and fresh. Emotional baggage would have to wait at the door because today was the day Ellen and I would finally get up close and personal. It was about time we met.
This time I knew the drill. What to wear, where to go, how to check in, and how to play the waiting game. Except this time I had a guaranteed seat. We walked across the street, made our way passed the security point and into the studio. The AC was on full blast, bright lights were everywhere and the crew was pumped up and ready to make sure our energy met their standards. I'm proud to say that I think we shocked the hell outta them! We were up out of our seats, screaming, jumping, clapping, dancing and doing pretty much everything we could to show our excitement for Ellen even before she came onto the set. My baby sis won a t-shirt for being one of the most energetic dancers on the floor! We worked it and by the time the show started, I was breaking a sweat!
Ellen walked out wearing a white, long-sleeve button-up underneath a black vest, dark denim and a sharp, black blazer. She talked for a few minutes and then cued the DJ. MJ blasted through the speakers and the audience went wild! Ellen danced just a few feet away from where I was standing and smiled at me. She was right there, but I had to compose myself. She turned around and went back down to the stage, doing her famous "straddle walk" across the coffee table to her seat. She was amazingly funny and entertaining to watch and just what I needed to get me back to high spirits! And to top it all off, as a gracious hostess, she gave away the new Sade CD and two! Yes, two free nights at the Venetian or Palazzo hotel in Las Vegas! And so the birthday countdown begins! But it doesn't end here. After the show the producers called out six out of the 265 audience members to meet with them and my name was called! Apparently, they were intrigued with a few of my answers to their survey questions:
Q: Do you have "friend(s) with benefits?" If so, are you looking for more?
A: Yes...maybe...
Q: Are you searching for a label like girlfriend/boyfriend...(something like that)?
A: Ha! I'm trying to de-label it!
Q: Are you married? If so, are your in-laws interfering with your marriage?
A: Hell no.
And so I repeat, who knew a few simple words could carry such a powerful punch?! They met with me in person so that I could elaborate more on my story. I made them laugh. I made them want to ask more questions and I nailed it. Every single one. Literally. I'm not exactly sure where this will lead me or even what it all means yet, but this is why I chose the song I chose.
I thought of Demi Moore's last quote in the movie Indecent Proposal, "Someone once said, 'If you want something very badly...set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours forever. If it doesn't, it was never yours to begin with.'" It is dedicated to the person I was thinking about when I told my story. One I didn't have to make up because it has become an endless chapter in my life even ten years later.
So, I couldn't help, but wonder..."What will happen next?"
Lyrics:
I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby
I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying I'm falling
I'm falling
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying for you I'm falling
I'm falling
