Oh Diane, if only I could kiss your precious lips once again. You're just like the beautiful sun that rises and takes away the darkness from my life. I don't care what my parents think anymore, I would do anything to see you once again.
Golly! It's Diane, Should I go up to her? No, I shouldn't. What if she regrets kissing me? What if she thinks I'm some sort of stalker? Dear God, help me!
Just look! Her eyes light the sky and her beautiful face outshines all of the stars in space. There just ain't nobody better than her in the entire world!
Oh no something appears to be wrong with her. I've got to hear what she is saying *gets closer and listens* Alas! My bright angle is speaking of me. Do I wait for her to say more? No, I need to answer her!
My goodness. Why do I feel so conflicted?! Kenneth, why can't the world just let us love. Why does my race prevent me from your embrace?
We don't have to listen to what the world has to say about our love. Let everyone ease upon us with disgrace, and we can live together in grace.
AHHHHH! KENNETH YOU SCARED ME! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Really you came looking for me ...wait no! Snap out of it Diane! You shouldn't be on this side of town. If anyone catches me talking to you, people could hurt me, or even you. You have to go.
Whoops. Sorry about that Diane. I came looking around town for you.
Please, just listen. Diane, I didn't get the chance earlier to say this, but I really love you, like a lot. I promise you, no one will ever hurt me or you. My love for you strengthens me through any battle that I may face.
Oh Kenneth I love you too. Maybe a bit too much. *chuckles* But you know we can never be together, not that I wouldn't want too, it's just that the law wouldn't and the people around us. You know we can't be oblivious to our differences.
But why should we care about the law or what people think? I would lay down my life for you this instance and even leave my family behind. Our differences will never keep us apart again. Lets run away to the North side and be together peacefully. Will you marry me?
Oh Kenneth I wasn't expecting that response. Although I am so happy with you, I can't make such a commitment right now. But I promise you my love for you is as deep as the sea, even if this confession seems so hasty.
Okay, then how about you think about your decision for the rest of the night, and we'll exchange our vows tomorrow.
But who would ever agree to marry us? Nobody would ever want to risk breaking the law for us!
I promise I know someone who can. Just meet me at the townhall at two-o'clock tomorrow.
Sounds perfect! *hears car pulling up* Okay my parents are here. You've got to go now.
Okay, goodbye my love, see you soon.
Goodbye darling.
*kiss*
Hey! Mayor. Jenkins wait up!
No sir, I've clearly forgotten about that girl Carol. I've met someone even better at the town meeting yesterday.
Well, well, well, look who we have here, the town's finest and most charming boy. Mornin, Kenneth. What brings you upon these streets so darn early? Wait I think I may, know, it is that girl Carol who's been keeping you up, right?
Well, my heart is set on um... Diane Freeman, and her heart is too. And I know you probably think that we're crazy for having these feelings for each other, but we truly are longing to be together forever. Therefore, I wanted to ask you today if you could please do the honors of marrying us?
Well then who is it?
Please Mayor Jenkins, I beg you not to scold me. Diane is one of the most kind and beautiful girl I have ever met. She brings me so much happiness that Carol can't.
My goodness, what a change this is. Ain't Diane a negro?! How could you have already forgotten about miss Carol so quickly?! You were just crying to me yesterday about how sorrowful you felt! How in the world could you believe that Diane is truly the one for you, if ya'll just met?
Mayor, please, just for me. I don't want to cause any trouble, it's just that our love is so profound. I would do anything to be with Diane!
But you know, Carol is also a beautiful girl and comes from a very great family. She's the perfect fit for you. And I'm sure Diane is just as wonderful, but the law prohibits any interracial marriages, especially between whites and blacks.
Really! Thank you so much! I knew I could count on you!
*Sighs* Okay young man, if ya'll really love each other this much, I'll agree to sign the paperwork to get ya'll married. But I'm only going against the law because I too don't believe that it is right to prevent different races from loving one another. Plus, this could finally be a way to mend the blacks and whites together.
What is this man yapping about?
Okay, okay, lets go! Diane should at the town hall soon.
Just remember, act wisely and slowly, Kenneth, because those who run fast are very likely to fall. So beware what you could possibly be getting yourself into.
Alright follow me.
