The moment I laid eyes on him, I was in soul deep. Most of my friends thought it was his bad boy image and good looks that attracted me, but that wasn’t it. Yes, his face was pleasing to my eyes, like a soft summer sunset and his body . . . lets just say, everything was well developed and perfectly in place. Yet there was much more to him and I felt a strong sense of need to be with him. Me? I was from the other side of the tracks, where its said "good girls grow". In his world, girls like me didn’t mesh with boys like him and to attempt, would only lead to trouble and heartache. He said he was taught that at an early age. However, despite our different worlds, we merged and became inseparable.
Although young, we both knew what we were up against, but believed our undying love and loyalty would surpass anything society threw our way. Our greatest critics were the people we thought loved us and wanted us to be happy. However, the happiness they wanted for us, was contingent on whom THEY thought we should love. I never knew my parents were prejudice. Of course I’ve heard them make negative comments about certain people, the way they talked, dressed or presented themselves. I didn’t think that was being prejudice. I thought they were simply voicing their opinion on what they thought was appropriate or not. Now I definitely know otherwise. They are prejudice, prejudice against the man I loved, because his appearance is that of what they deem inappropriate. Which had nothing to do with our love for each other.
His family situation was totally different. His father was no one he knew and his mother worked too hard trying to keep a roof over their heads to care about his love interest. On the other hand, our relationship was wide open for his, adopted street family to pick apart and they took advantage of every opportunity to do so. To them, I was uppity and would always believe myself better than them.
Besides our family and friends, we also had to cope with the sharp stares and whispers from underneath the breath of complete strangers. People who knew absolutely nothing about us or our circumstances . . . yet they found it necessary to formed negative opinions. Never did we imagine so many would be against our love. At least, not for reasons that have nothing to do with why one loves someone. Our love was hurting no one and it was working perfectly for us . . . that should have been all that mattered.
As we became intimately engaged, most of our energy and time were spent defending ourselves against our family and friends and trying to ignore society’s negative gestures toward us. We never expected it, nor did we see it coming . . . somewhere in time, somehow, we found ourselves defending ourselves against each other. The world outside our love caused damaging interference that doused our passion . . . our loyalty . . . our love. We eventually parted ways . . . broken hearted . . . leaving each other with the memory of our love, that felt like forever, but wasn’t.
