Your poem really touched my heart. I am in the same situation as you, but he's white and I'm black. So many people criticize me and they really don't understand that true love knows no color or race. It shouldn't matter what race you are. You don't really have control over who you fall in love with. That poem really touched my heart. Thank you very much

Hey Amanda. I Loved Your poem! It ws really great. I used to be in the same situation but with a lil difference. The guy i liked was also black and im white as well but he was also my BEST FRIEND! I had a bf and he had a gf. I was alos afriad of what people would think. My parentd made me transfer schools. I miss him and think about him everyday. I see him everyonce in a while. But girl dont worry itll be ok and will work out. Bc u really and truly cant help who u love

Brandy

Amanda: Your poem was really beautiful and it really got to me because I am in the exact same situation you are. I've been dating this guy for almost 9 months now and he's black and I'm white. Most of my friends are cool with it but my parents are not at all. Even though it's hard, we still continue to go strong because we love each other and know we want to spend the rest of our lives together. When I look at him I don't see color, I see the boy I fell in love with for all the right reasons. Once again, your poem is wonderful and I just want you to know that you're not alone. :)

Amanda

OMG! That is the same exact thing wit me & my b/f! He also livez n another state so my parentz think they can use that as another excuse. They try 2 tell me that it wouldn't b fair 2 our kidz but thatz a bad excuse cuz half of my friendz r mixed & they don't have a hard life 4 it! But newayz i jus really loved it. i really connected wit it, bcuz he is my 1st love & i really don't care what color he is!

Amanda

This poem was really touching. I believe that if you love someone then it doesn't matter what color or anything else. People will always be judgmental and they will pay for that one day so in "their" eyes it may not seem right, but if you love him then you know what is right. I am white and I talk and hang out with everyone.(Actually at my school the black people are better to hang out with then the stuck up white ones) Good-Luck and I wish you the best.

This poem I could relate to more than I could have imagined. It made me cry because it totally showed how I felt for my boyfriend, Aaron.

Amber

this poem really got 2 me. i met this guy. he was black i was white. i didnt express my feelings to him because we'd probably never see him again and also my parents and other people wouldnt agree, but i know when i meet someone and i know that i love him even if hes a different color. nothing will talk me out of loving that person

Kristina

I thought the poem was good and it was exactly what i was thinking about my boyfriend and when he read it we got much closer

Someone

I cried when I read this poem because it seemed like it was speaking to me. I have been so in Love with a guy for 4 years, and I can't tell anyone because he is black and I am white. My family doesn't agree with interracial couples, so we have to keep our relationship a secret from them. One day I will be able to tell them, but now I am just 17. I know people may think we don't know what love is, but we do. He also feels the same way about me. His family has no objections. I just wanted to thank the author for such a moving poem. Its words has really helped me in my life. Thank you and may the Lord Jesus Christ be with you always!!!

Amy

See this poem means alot to me, because I know exactly how she feels. My parents are otally no for interracial realtionships, but this poem made me realize I should do what makes me happy and that is being with the guy I love. Also this poem made me realize that I need to show and tell him how much he REALLY does mean to me!

jean

very nice poem!!! it expresses the feelings very well.

Cheryl

This poem touched me in more ways than one. I am also in an interracial relationship. Not only is my boyfriend black, but he's in prison too. No one approves of our love, but I know it's true.

Angela

This poem is really emotional and it's good that she is expressing herself if it's true love go for it. It shouldn't matter the color of there skin it your feelings that matter. I support her 100%.

Bekka

I think that this poem is really good. You are a very talented person you should be proud.

Diane

I now go out with a black guy and so does my sister so i know exactly where you are coming from.

Kyla

I was looking for a way to express my love to my boyfriend one day & this poem did a great job of it. You see he's my world, but sometimes I do a very bad job of expressing my feelings. I also like the part of don't listen when they say what we have isn't true because a lot of people say that so us, and we've been through a lot because he's Puerto Rican & I'm white. He usually doesn't get poems,but he got this one & it helped him see how much he trully means to me.
