Young Black Love

Is different from any other.
For the young lady, the young man,
It’s a different sense.
A feeling only some really experience.

Young Black Love is natural,
It’s not planned or pre-arranged.
It happens at moment’s notice,
And at times, ends just as fast.

But still the experience to love
A Black young man for a Black young lady
Is something her heart will never forget
And if her love is real, he won’t forget either.

Whether it be going to the “Friday night parties”
Or spending Sunday evening in the living room.
Talking every night on the phone about nothing
Or listening to Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway.

Black, young love is unique.
Together, hip, bad, and a good thang.
If you got it, keep it!
If you don’t, get it!
