I remember when I found u. I felt like time was finally on our side. I felt like we could intertwine our hearts in something mature—in something palpable. I thought we could have our happily ever. I thought u were the missing melody to my life’s song. Turns out I was so wrong.
I hope I don’t come across the video of the tragic senseless & inhumane beating of a another black being. But if I do, then w/ agony, despair & great sorrow—I will watch it. Just as the ppl in 1955 had to bare witness to what they did to Emmett Till. I will pray. Then I will act.
