He Really Did Sing To Me

I've never had anyone sing to me, so when one of my dates put on a CD and said he was going to sing to me, I squinted my eyes and pretended to smile.

But it wasn't my face, it was my thoughts.

Sing to me?

I've never had anybody sing to me, I thought.

Dag, that's really sweet, another thought took over.

Can he sing? I couldn't help but think.

He was standing at his CD player while I was sitting on his couch. After rifling through a few CDs, he found the one he was looking for. Popped it in and then sat back down next to me.

We had been sharing a big pillow. I was lying one way and he was lying the other on the couch.

I resumed my position, but he remained upright.

"This is my favorite song," he said.

"Really," I responded. And shoot, I begin thinking. What is my favorite all-time song?

If he asks, I'm not sure what I would say. I love Gerald, The O'Jays, Usher, Teena Marie, SOS Band, R. Kelly, Jodeci, and many more but umm what is my favorite song?

Any who.

This guy actually sat down and really started singing.

Wow! I’m sooooo impressed.

And he wasn’t just singing like it didn’t matter. He was singing for real for real. I mean for real for real!

I’ve been to weddings before where people sing to each other, but heck I didn’t even know that folks actually sing to people at home.

Whew, where have I been? I’m on a trip to Sing-To-Me-City and shooot meeez likes this.

And I couldn’t help but think is this man being nice and ewwy gewey sweet or is he trying to seduce me?

Whatever the case, I do see how folks end up out of their clothes in a matter of seconds.

OK, the song is over. I’ve gathered myself. My heart isn’t beating as fast anymore, but then he started singing another song.

Oh lawd, help me.

I’m thinking, after this song, I’ve gotta figure out a way to exit the building. Maybe these butterflies in my stomach will help me take flight out the door.
