Did you ever meet someone, a complete stranger, but instantly felt like you’ve met them before?
Maybe there was something about their voice, or their mannerisms. Maybe the way their mouth moved when they spoke or their eyes. Something. You couldn’t quite put your finger on it, but yet, it was there. A familiarity that you just couldn’t deny.
This is how I feel about him. About Elvis.
I’m SURE we had met before. Likely in another life because I certainly never met him in this one. But how can someone be SO familiar if you’ve never met them?
Did I watch too many of his movies as a kid and permanently ingrain him in my mind? No. I prefer to believe that we did meet in a previous life. That we were good friends. Possibly even Lovers. Maybe High School Sweethearts. But that something tragic happened that tore us from each other. And our lives together were never completed.
Which is why he wandered through his life always searching for that perfect love again – the one that he had shared with me. I just know it. In fact I’m convinced of it. And you will not be able to tell me anything different. Sadly no amount of drugs, doughnuts or peanut butter sandwiches were ever enough to fill that void that I left behind.
Yep. You heard it here people – The Only Girl was the love of Elvis’ life.
Shut up. I was so.

he had such a unique face and fantastic voice. I did prefer him in the early years though!

I feel that way about any celebrity who responds to me on Twitter. Once I get a tweet from them we’re like total BFF’s until they stop responding to me and another celeb responds.

I think he was sexy when he was young. Fat Elvis in the jumpsuit – not so much.

you mean you were the love of his life until he got all bloated and became a raving drug addict

Elvis died the same month I was born, so I’ve also always felt a (super-small, ultra-tenuous) connection to him. It is a bit tainted by the fact that he was already much, much wealthier at my age than I will ever be. Also, he had a whole lot more white leather.

Hehe this is so funny! I agree he must have turned to fat drug taking Elvis because he couldn’t be with you

I think this is true. But I have one question. If you two had a love child together, who would that person be today?

I’m thinking maybe Diana Krall. I always thought she had a certain Elvis-ness about her. Or maybe Taylor Swift. Thoughts?
