My love wasn't enough for you to stay.
You went away quickly.
And I continued on living life.

And without you, it's twice as nice.

Sure, I could have cried.
But I didn't give it a second thought.

And now you're back saying I didn't care.
When in truth it seems to be you?

What I was blessed with?
I cherished it deeply.

I just wasn't going to waste my time chasing you.
When you had a love so true.

So, you saw yourself as a distant dream.

When in reality you never stood by me?

I don't like you.
I don't like your color.
I'm basing it upon views of others taught to me.

Some said for years your kind is beneath me.
I have listened to this constantly repeated over time.
Until one day I listened to my mind.

Once, where I was blind?
Now, I do see truth.
I'm no better than you and you're no better than me.

We honestly bleed the same.
And along the way I lost family and friends.
Because I learned knowledge is power.
When using my opinions about others.

Like a blind soul living in darkness.
I just don't see a person based on color.

Blessed, you were.
Blessed, you are.
The breath of life made someone smile.

Whether they were shocked.
Or not surprised, in the least.
You're a precious gift born to this earth.

Like roots of flowers that blossom un time.
You too will grow before many people eyes.
Because you're a precious gift in many people's eyes.

Nothing more important than the birth of as child.
Except, for the love that made it possible.

Remember that like the precious gift that was gifted to us.
In that same vein, you love royally.
And cherished deeply.
