“IF”
K.S. circa 1999
…If I told you that I loved you,
could you love me back, do you love,
If I told you that I loved you,
what would it mean to you, what would it be
If I told you that I loved you
would I know who you are would you know me,
I don’t want to lose what we have,
or is it that I want something for us to have,
If I told you that I loved you,
would it destroy ‘us.’
The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
