Stray

"Secret Lovers" - Atlantic Starr

I arrived early to work this morning. I could hear an owl not too far away. The road was damp and the air smelled fresh and clean. I carefully parked just below the big, drooping tree, squishing its dead branches against the wet curb. I turned off my headlights and watched as the fog that sat quietly on top of the hill ahead of me slowly started to disappear.

Two silver Benzs that have become frequent visitors to our "isolated" location within the last year were revealed. The man, who drove the sports car, popped out with no shame to tuck in his blue, button-up shirt. The woman, dressed in a pencil skirt and lavender blouse, pushed up her vanity mirror inside her slightly-tinted SUV. They no longer seemed to care that their actions were calling attention to them, although they did make a drastic change in their meeting time in order to be less obvious. They're usually lunch folks and have been seen in this spot just a little passed noon, but I guess they learned rather quickly that they weren't alone on this hillside. So in an attempt to ensure that they weren't parked too closely next to curious eyes, they figured mornings would be better. And there I happened to be.

It's funny because at first we thought nothing of it. Maybe they were a real couple and just wanted to spice things up outdoors... but 3 times a week? That's quite a bit of the same spice so it's hard not to start making assumptions. It's just sad that things often come to this; that people have to hide and keep secrets. That these two people who appear to be successful professionally, carry issues in their personal lives that lead them to meet at this point.

It scares me to think that I've been jaded by the thought that trust no longer exists. The fact that I see a lot of this going on everyday within these peaceful hills is proving to me more and more that honesty is definitely dying. What's not happening at home to make this happen so much out here, I wonder?

I dedicate this to all of you who will eventually figure that out the hard way...

Lyrics:

Here we are, the two of us together
Taking this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
'Cause if they found out, it could mess up
Both our happy homes

I hate to think about us all meeting up together
'Cause soon as I looked at you, it would show on my face, yeah
Then they'll know that we've been loving each other
We can never no, no, no, no, we can't leave a trace

Sittin' at home I do nothing all day
But think about you and hope that you're okay
Hoping you'll call before anyone gets home
I'll wait anxiously alone by the phone

How could something so wrong be so right?
I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight, yeah
Living two lives, just ain't easy at all
But we gotta hang on and after fall

Secret lovers, yeah that's what we are
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel
'Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can't let it go 'cause what we feel
Is, oh so real, so real, so real

You and me, are we fair?
Is this cruel or do we care?
Can they tell that's in our minds?
Maybe they've had secret love all of the time

In the middle of makin' love, we notice the time
We both get nervous 'cause it's way after nine
Even though we hate it, we know it's time that we go
We gotta be careful so that no one will know

Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are
We shouldn't be together but we can't let it go
'Cause what we feel is, oh so real
So real, so real, so real, so real

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

UnBreakable Me

"Like A G6 & Bass Down Low" - Far East Movement, The Cataracs, & Dev I promised every week at the least. For Me. This is me keeping my promise. For Me. Cuz it's what I've been doing. For Me.
