Music Video
It was directed by Chris Robinson. In the video, Alicia Keys plays a waitress in a cafe, which is secretly a regular guest (played by Mos Def ) in love, but she hardly notices. In the restaurant a raffle will be held regularly in which a Gratismenu is up for grabs as the main prize. In a daydream she pulls out his business card and giving it its telephone number. She calls him, confesses her love for him and offers him a date. At a party, the two meet and come closer ... That took place these events only in their imagination, it becomes clear as the regular stop off again into the restaurant. Only when the operator asks him if he (as usual) want a hot chocolate, meet shortly their eyes. As a regular guest of the restaurant leaves almost wordlessly, she remains sad. She looks after him wistfully, wondering here is whether he ever knew that she loved him.
