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.
