Saving U Saving Me

Saving you, so I cover my face, 

Saving me, your smile I can not trace,
Saving you, social distancing, a new reality,
Elbow bumping, hand sanitizer, plastic gloves, do you agree?

Saving me, depression doesn't matter anymore,
Saving you, as we pass by in the grocery store,
Saving me my smile is hidden, my frown is erased,
My feelings don't matter, can barely identify your race,

Saving you, from a virus that wants to kill us all,
Saving me, Brown and Black has seen the greatest fall,
Saving you, going unmasked, you say, it's not a big deal,
To avoid you from my droplets as this thing becomes real?

Saving me, from a superficial world,
For you must love my face in order for me to be your girl,
Saving you, giving new habits to our kids,
It's so strange but this is their world you dig.

Letting family be our first intimacy,
Remote learning, putting the account solely on you, on me,
Mediating and praying about how this world will look,
If I am truly my brothers keeper,
Saving you, saving me will never be overlooked.
