My Song Memories
Number
23 and its accompanying memory
Wow.
You talk about a song that brings back memories, this is one. It is Suspicion
by Terry Stafford. I like this version better than Elvis's. Let me tell you
about this song. I and one of my buddies, Ed Shanahan, were out running around
on the street. Ed met this young girl, they started talking, and she invited
him to her house. Ed asked me to go along as she said she had a girlfriend
living with her. So I went. Sadly, I don't remember the girlfriend's name
but she was very interesting to talk to. We went into the kitchen and sat
at the table and left Ed alone with the girl in the living room. Come to find
out, this girl was engaged to a guy that she did not want to marry. Seems
she was in love with her ex-boss, a bar owner. While working for him, she
had become romantically involved and he had told her he was going to divorce
his wife for her. Well you all know how that line ends. She was broken hearted
and I could see her pain. She was also very religious and was constantly reading
excerps from the bible to me. She was attractive and without going into any
details, we ended up in the bedroom and, shall we say, consummated our friendship.
Then she started crying and reading the bible again. She said she felt terrible
for what she had done. I thought, "Was I that bad?"...lol. Anyway
I calmed her down and we went back out into the living room only to find Ed
and the girl going at it. Sheesh. Back to the kitchen and more talk about
her life. I really liked her and felt so sorry for her at the same time. But
I already knew at this point I was going back into the Navy in a couple of
weeks so I figured I would not see her any more after this night. Eventually
we walked back to the living room and they were now sitting up on the couch.
Not a minute too soon. All of a sudden the front door opens and in comes her
fiance. "Oh my God," I thought. But we were just sitting there innocently
talking when he arrived and we played it out that way. She introduced us.
We shook hands. He was a skinny, hillbilly looking guy but it mattered not
to me. We said we had to leave and he said, "Wait! Let me go outside
first. My brother is out there with a gun just in case I needed some help."
Talk about melodrama but I was not about to take any chances. He went first
and then we left. Turns out I did get to talk to her a couple more times after
that but only talk. I felt so sorry for her and often times wonder how her
life ended up. Her image appears every time I hear Suspicion. I wonder if
she ever married Mr. Suspicion. Oh well.
