A Matter Of When

We might end up loving each other,
he said
failing to notice my stolen breath,
or the flush that said,
what do you  mean WE white man?
Like I already have not
woven him in between
the tattered worn tapestry
of my still beating heart.
Oh that damned "l" word,
forbidden by custom
and years of denial,
I might end up loving?
Speak for yourself, dammit.
I don't remember
when i did not love you,
but welcome to the party, pal!
