Have You Confessed?

My last confession was 06/14/2006 at 8:50 PM.

WARNING!!!! Some of the links may give you pop-ups.

I'm grateful that I can Live to Tell about this last confession. Where do I begin? It was Sally who suggested we Get Together for lunch a month or so back. I had a feeling that meeting would be different from all the other ones. She seemed to be giving me a gentle Push to get me to confess something. I was feeling the urge already. Like It Or Not, the time had come to tell her that "I Love New York".

Sally gave me this quizzical look. I think she knew that wasn't the big secret. She played along and told me about her New York experiences and how she got Hung Up over this dude named Isaac. He told her How High to Jump and she would comply. She realized the errors of her ways and finally broke free of his spell. She thanked her Lucky Star she had a flight back to Chicago to get him out of her mind.

"But enough about that jerk," she said to me. "I wanna know your Secret."

It didn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out what she was getting at. My urge to confess was strong Hemingway. It was as if she knew the time was right. Do I tell her about my Forbidden Love for men? I felt Like A Virgin as I contemplated revealing this to her.

While thinking about the right way to do this, I paced back and forth. Sally popped in some Music. I could hear old school Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" playing in the background.

Madonna sang:
"I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When its time for siesta, you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy...."

"....loves a boy!" I shouted.

Sally smiled. She gave me a hug and told me that she knew. I shared some of my experiences. She let me know I didn't need to tell her about all of my Future Lovers, just the one that's right for me.

Sally asked me if I wanted to go with her to Madonna's concert. I could see the excitement in Sally's voice as she was telling me about it. I told her yes. She gave me a copy of Madonna's Confessions On A Dance Floor CD to listen to and study for the big day.

I took the copy of her CD and made my way out the door. Before I left, I told her that I was Sorry it took me this long to confess.

"Let It Will Be," she said. "You'll be confessing to the world come June 14th."

I gave her a puzzled look but managed to give her a wry smile as I left.

The story below was part fiction, part truth. I listed all the songs (with the exception of a couple I couldn't figure out) that was played at the Madonna concert I attended. It was a great show, lack of A/C aside.
