The Colour of Love
Do you know the colour of love?
I don't think you do.
Love is an emotion,
That thrills us through and through.
Love is special,
It comes from the heart.
If you meet your soul mate,
You will never be apart.
You cannot buy love,
From the corner store,
When you find true love,
You have everything and more.
No one can separate you,
Or offer you their love,
You know somebody holy
Sent this man from above.
My man loves me,
I can see it in his eyes
Dignity and respect,
Shown on both sides.
I had misgivings the first time we met,
I saw too many problems,
And though he may regret,
Dating me on this fateful day,
I took a chance and accepted,
His invitation for a date.
I am a coloured girl,
Looking for a coloured mate,
He laughed at me when I told him,
That this didn't feel right.
Still laughing, he said to me,
Haven't you noticed, I am white?
Do you know the colour of love?
I don't think you do.
Love is an emotion,
That thrills us through and through
