Forbidden Love

As I lay here under the stars. I take a trip down memory lane. And I'm transported to a time when I was deeply and madly in love.Your embrace was my safe harbor. When I was in your arms all was right in the world. Our love story was a gift from God. But the world around us wasn' t ready for such a love.I could remember it like yesterday, You were so hand- some. A greek god could not hold a candle to you. Your fair skin was flawless and your blue eyes were more lovely than the sky on a great day.And your physique took my breath away.I think I fell in love with you instantly. In a strange voice that I barely recognized as my own, I blurted out “ Young Sir”Do you need anythang else? As I recall you must have been smittened with me as well because you didn't answer for a long time. You always told me that you loved my caramel skin and my big brown eyes. You always referred to me as your African princess.When you finally spoke you simply said no.From that day on we were two young lovers who was forbidden to love because of the color of our skin. When your parents found out about our secret love affair I died a million times in one second. They shipped me to another plantation in another state.I longed for you to find me but you never did.I will never forget how you made me feel,you didn't see color you saw me as the love of your life. My darling I felt the same and I will love you until I breathe my last breath. My Grannies Love note 1-18-16
