Interracial Dating
He completely changed my preference
the day he made me laugh
my eyes got less narrow
and my heart expanded
I didn't think I could fall
for a white guy but god dammit
he makes my knees tremble
and my heart do jumps
like donkey Kong in Nintendo
I wonder if he knows
He is so intellectually stimulating
he makes love to my brain
so much so that I almost can't take it
He makes me wonder how two beings
could have so much in common but not be
of the same race
I didn't need the answer to that
question because all I could imagine was his face
and the feelings that image provoked had
nothing to do with the complexion of our skins
truthfully I wanted what was within
I realized than that color had
nothing to do with the way he could make me
smile or make my heart jump in and out of place.
It was just me and him
A woman and a man
the feelings I have for him
are much more complicated
than any crayola box of colors
could comprehend.
All I know is that since the light
flashed green I haven't been the same
and I think it's time I told him
exactly what kind of impact he has
had on me.
To feel so strongly about someone
and never let them know is like
building new walls in place of
the old doors he just helped me break
down because all I want is him
I wonder does he know
