He beamed at me the whole time
He took me to all my favorite places; Icecream, the lake, the bookstore
He gave me big pink roses
I never received flowers
From a man

I asked him how many black girls has he dated
He said "one" while looking in my eyes
"I don't mind none." He kissed my hand
He kissed it twice and wanted to again
He held and stroked my hand
I eased to his touch and I felt so feminine and safe and at ease
Why do I want to cry
