Another CD about another ex-boyfriend. He was 8 years older than me. One of the things that I recall most about our time together is that he told me that he wanted kids and thought I was old compared to his ex-fiance. Needless to say, he wasn't over his ex and although there were many reasons we didn't belong together, that was number one. I was 32 at the time and didn't think of myself as old until he said that. Somehow, the reminder of the finite amount of time a woman has to conceive children makes 32 seem old and right then and there a tiny part inside of me started to feel desperate. Today, I am a wife and mother of two beautiful children. I have not felt that desperation in a long time. I think my ex is out there alone, single...older. If I was given an opportunity to speak to him, I would like to say, "Thanks for showing me the difference between my being a woman and a girl and helping me graduate to the real world, ready to meet my soul mate. You had a lot of growing up to do even at your age!"
I liked most of the songs on the CD especially 'Crazy In Love', 'Me, Myself and I', 'Naughty Girl' and 'Baby Boy'. I could listen to it straight through and I did that for a lot of 2003.
