Boyfriend Poem by Julie A Smith

Beautiful but surprising blessing
Older than me, even though I usually fall for younger guys
Years we were good friends before we made the leap to dating
Forgotten how to date; it's been so long for me
Really been hurt before so my heart is still healing
Interracial couple so society seems to have lots to say
Easy to be myself with him
Need to not worry about risking the friendship but that's hard
Dating is difficult, fun, and requires lots of communication
