Good Love, bad.

Real love is a humbling experience. I know that from current experience.
Why do good girls like bad guys? Why can't bad boys stay away from the good girls? Age old question. People still ask the shit like they don't know the answer.

I've known why for some very long years now. Since I was 13 my mother use to ask me why I like these "hoodlums". LOL, I would laugh and say, "WHAT?!! He's not a hoodlum, ma. You're stereotyping." Then 16 came. She was still asking the same question. I then would say, "I don't know ma, I guess those are the only ones who can handle me."

Well, I'm older now and now my answer would be, "We balance each other out. My personality it too strong for these other dudes. I curse in every sentence, I'm flashy, the way I move is loud but I'm very quiet. I mean it's not like I wasn't born and raised in the 'hood', ma. I like what I like. The college boys were entirely too immature."

I have my turn ons and offs. And not being a manly man is the biggest turnoff. I need to feel protected. It's not like I'll only be involved with 'hoodlums' (my dating log has been very indiscriminate); there's a swag that comes with them. Being from the hood; I always said that I'm not hood. This is just my birthplace and like anyone - hometown; is in heart. I LOVE my black men. I LOVE my black swag. AND I ABSOLUTELY ADORE my black man's dang a lang. I LOVE my black man's soul, his words, his ambition, his outlook, his love.

He's not a hoodlum or a thug. He's had a misfortune of being left to the streets to raise. What you see in him that's bad; she sees in him that's worth understanding and chance. You see because she's actually seen worse. She's seen guys labeled as 'good boys' do things not easy to repeat. To her he's a fallen angel. What you see in him that's 'no good'; she sees in him as things that she knows he can improve. What you see in him as convict; she sees in him as another brother victim to selling the 'white man's poison'. What you see in her that's good; he sees in her as innocence, untainted, pure, fragile and beautiful. You see because he's never seen that before. To him it's like a dream come true.

who are we... let them be in love.
