Just Plain Black and White

Okay, i don't know how to start so I'm just going to. I'm in love with a guy that my mom doesn't approve of. He's a great guy and before we started dateing she loved him to death, but the moment we stared dateing all of that changed. The only reason she don't think we should be together is because he is black and I am white. That don't make a diffrence to me, but apperently it does to her. I want my moms approvel, but I'm not going to give him up to get it. I've had to sneek around and lie to her about him, and I don't like doing that. I want to be able to tell my mom everything. I just wish she would understand that I'm in love. Love doesn't see his skin color or mine, all love sees is how much that we care for each other. I just wish I could keep my mom and my self happy without having to lie and sneek around, but for the time being that don't seem to be happening.

He's a great caring and loving guy. He is always trying to make me laugh. He is the first guy I've ever felt this way about and I will never feel this way about another guy. He knows I love him and I honestly believe that he loves me. My mom can't see what I love about him, she only sees his skin.

My mom should know what I'm going through. When her and my dad got married her parents didn't approve. They didn't think he was good enough for her. She should want the prejudice to stop, but insted she is continuing it, and sometimes I wounder if she even realizes how much like her mother she really is. She should know that love knows no boundries.
