Darker

You said to me

“I never thought I would ever be with a girl as dark as you”

As if my skin color

Was a deal breaker

As if my skin color

Was an important part in your decision making

Like

Maybe when we first started dating

You didn’t call me your girlfriend

Because I am the first person you slept with

That’s darker than you

Back in high school

I knew

I knew you weren’t the kind of guy who dates

Black girls

But it had been five years since then

Who were to know, what kind of guy you were on our first date
