our love


This is how it feels this is how it feels to walk the streets without seeing a glare from someone to meet people who don't just judge I have more to me I don't feel afraid about what might happen I'm happy as can be I have all I can want the history behide it is powerful its even inspiring he made it his life he fought for our rights he marched for us and fought for his dream his dream was powerful he dreamt of the future here is our future like he predicted two children of white and negro played we were the best of friends we did everything together and still after so long we are strong together in our time we weren't looked down upon we were seen as normal but now I think back and think what if he didn't fight for what he did what if nobody did then us best friends wouldn't be best friends we could even be enemies but because of him we are friends well we were friends now we are together he is my better half I thank the heavens for him I thank the movement that allowed us to not be frowned upon we are just normal people we are seen as everybody else he is blake and I am white and we are us we are two people in love what I thank is civil rights
