Heart Upon My Sleeve

I kept my love a secret.

For one; my mum had a belief that before you had graduated from university and gotten your degree, "you don't know what love is, you are too young for love, you are are being stupid, you will only get your heart broken, you don't know what you're talking about."

Secondly; the boy I was in love with was of another race. He was white, I was black. My family is not necessarily against interracial love, but his were.

And thirdly; the most important reason of all was that the boy I was in love with was three continents away.

I fell in love with a boy I have never met, I fell in love over the internet...

So yes, I was pretty much loco.
