What are you seeing as we walk past you? A happy couple holding hands Or the contrast in our skins' hue? Or perhaps it is the difference In our years that has thrown you That you took another glance And wrote us a scathing review Without giving yourself the chance; Taken off your prejudiced lens in order to Look beyond our appearance To see what we do We are just a man and a woman, as human as you. More fortunate than most to have found each other, so we're never saying adieu.
