Black and White

She's different
I never noticed before
But now, I can't help it
So nice and sweet
Warm and friendly
How can I help myself?

Beautiful, but exotic too
She's different
In one major, crucial way
She is black,
And I am white
But I don't care

I don't care about
The color of her skin,
It's HER that matters to me
She's my friend
And I love that
But I want to love her too

Surprise!
One day she says she loves me
As a friend, but isn't that enough?
No! I want more!
But I don't dare tell her
What if I lose her?!

Her touch is like
Fire
As she leans on me in class
We hug everyday
And that is bliss
But not compared to her incredible kiss

I love her
She loves me
That's all we need
Now I see
No one can tell me it's wrong or right
Just me and her
Black and White
