I dunno, I almost kinda think that if they had been that much in love and she had been in his life (physically) they probably would've been married at some point after the trial (which ended in '05). I mean, that's a four year time span between '05 and '09. In those four years they were unable to commit to each other after all they had been through and how they had been there for each other and all? I guess one could argue that they may have been secretly married, but if that had been the case, wouldn't it have come out after June 25, 2009? Would not a wife have been in the will or something?
and
If mj did have a secret girlfriend/wife maybe they made some arrangment in secret. Who knows, its a possibilty i guess.
MP, I love your blue text here and how sometimes you use red. Fun. And so you're supplying the PIZZA!
izza: WooHoo! Parteh time in the LITD thread! *napkin please*
Secret marriage? Sure it could have been
possible. Michael loved his privacy and he respected others desire for privacy as well. Remember in his first book,
Moonwalk, he explains that he has had other relationships (friend and otherwise) that the public doesn't know about and would not mention names because he wanted to protect their privacy and understood their wanting to keep that privacy. If MJ and his LITD girl jointly wanted to keep their "marriage' a secret...well, if anyone could pull that off, I think MJ could. If Janet, his sister, could, he could. But keep in mind, with Janet, it was known that she and her husband were friends, and maybe that they were dating...an item, right? I wasn't paying attention to the news or celebrities then so I am going by what I have gathered since.
Ash makes a good point that nothing like this, meaning keeping celebrity relationships a secret, can last indefinitely. What degree Janet's relationship with her husband was actually, was hidden from others, but he was seen around her right? We, in the last few years of MJ's life, or several years, hadn't seen any one girl hanging around him, true? I think this is partly maybe what Ash is meaning...how could we not get a drift of
something all this time? The media would be all over it just like everthing MJ related. *sigh*
The other argument, is MJ seems like he would be bursting with happiness after waiting so, so long, for this one girl (if that is the case and the LITD girl exists) and he would be proud and want others to know he had finally found her and she's his. I think there are lyrics to support that he would want it known.
Butterflies again with the Eve rap, for one example:
Wanna give her whatever you got
In front of millions make it known whatever the plot
The last thought on this, well, a couple things, is that 1.) he wanted to "make things right". Moddie, I think, had a great post once speaking of how men like to have everything in order first before tying the knot with someone. MJ may still have been in operation "making things right" before June 25, 2009, and 2.) he had too many things in the end there that he felt uncomfortable with and maybe saw others hanging around with evil intent and he no way wanted to pull her in to THAT, but would naturally wish to protect her.
Just some varied ways to look at this.
:thinking:...................................
*is counting to herself, one two three...*
Ash!!! I think you are missing
three dots here!
I'm concerned if you don't add them
in after your "thinking smiley", you'll stop your thinking right before having a breakthrough and a major brain storm!
*is so worried for you*

Love is a beautiful thing........
Been so long since I left you
Do all the things you used to do
In all this time I can't forget you
Everywhere I turn I think of you
And I, I wanna trust you baby
You, you're all I need
:heart:
Aren't those nice lyrics to
really get us in the mood for :heart:luv?!:heart: I think it is so interesting when a man can't get a girl out of his mind. Guys seem so busy focusing on so many things and yet, a girl can still "get in there." Cute, huh, how that works?
Well hey mj's idol was peter pan and peter pan is a hero
Hey, yes, indeedy.
And I LOVE Peter Pan! I just re-watched
Return to Neverland the other day. Man, I want to fly!! I was sitting in my back yard today and I have a very, very tall Eucalyptus tree and I was looking up at it and spying this one branch, and I can't tell you how I hungered to be able to fly up to it and just sit there. Then all the birds in my yard rub it in by flying around overhead and perching on any ol' branch they want. Pffft.
However I think this two music is prophetic because talked about the all pain that he passed on the trials and others problems.
I don't feel that he talk about of a woman on Will You Be There, maybe it's possible too. But I always feel that he talked about the people, a lover, the fans and family generally.
In You are My Life he makes the things so strong that I think was real. Because he left the trials and others problems so sad and was possible that he was without hope, force and he couldn't see good things more:
You gave me strength
When I wasn’t strong
You gave me hope when all hope is lost
You opened my eyes when I couldn't see
And so he find her and she brings all this back again to him. Or still, he find her before the problems come in, he walked away from her during and reunited her after! So he says: ''Love was always here waiting for me''. He knew that she will be there for him after all that would happen. He believed in her love for him and trust on her. I think this last one is more pobrabily now in the case of she to be real
Great post, and you remain objective throughout! I think it is very possible
Will You Be There is more of a general "cry out" than just a message to one person...but we have often times said in here that something about MJ makes us think he is more than capable of doing two things at once...meaning the song is not about a "her" and is about a "her" all at the same time. If ya know what I mean. I suppose it could be viewed in both ways.
Some think, and I have always been one of them, that
You Are My Life was written with his own children in mind; but, I might have been influenced by the situation of when I first heard that song, and that was during the last part of his
Private Home Movies. As we know, he chose that song to be playing while he let the world see in some personal video footage, his two little children (at the time), Prince and Paris.
Had I heard that song first on, maybe, the
Invincible album... and read along with the lyrics...I probably would have assumed he was referring to a woman; however, right or wrong, the association to his children with that song was firmly planted in my mind because of PHM.
But I think what you have to say about the song is very good. And I think this that you said in particular reaches the heart:
So he says: ''Love was always here waiting for me''. He knew that she will be there for him after all that would happen.
Sweet and lovely. :wub:
