Post fight
Lying down. Side by side.
Seemingly worlds apart.
While screens blare loudly, words seem to escape us.
Brewing anger slowly fades to a painful awkwardness.
“I’m sorry”, my mind whispers.
But my back, squared firmly against his, betray my reconciliation.
I let Pride lull me to sleep.
Misery cover me.
Tears take the light out.
Tomorrow.
Let it be done then.

as a young adult, I never thought about racial preferences in terms of finding a partner. My preference lies in whether or not a girl has an attractive/cute face (AKA “initial attraction”). Then second is personality which is very important. I do not care about the colour of their skin. However, I am in the minority in comparison to my friends and colleagues (and perhaps you, the reader of my blog post).
