I fell in love with a beautiful girl

With beautiful eyes

And a beautiful smile

Who spoke beautiful words

In so many different beautiful ways

And when she touched me,

It was as if the word beautiful were an action

She made me.. a more beautiful me

We cuddled, we kissed, we held hands

And people.. people liked to tell me that my love was disgusting

That my love, was unnatural

And I couldn't help but wonder..

Because when I looked at their love,

And I looked at my love,

I couldn't see the difference

They say, it's perverted

But I don't know what's perverted about

The way she looks over at me and smiles

I can't. I can't comprehend the difference

Everyone tries to tell me, the difference

But they don't understand..

When her gaze lands on me it feels like fire igniting through all of my veins

But it's not a fire for burning, it's a fire for warming

She made me feel like home

A perversion. A sin. Unnatural. Disgusting. Wrong.

They throw these words around like they know

A damn thing about something that they will never experience

But they can't take this, from me

This Grand Canyon heart cannot be changed

No matter how badly I could want it to be

My love.. as deep as oceans

Cannot me nursed back to health..


I fell in love with a beautiful girl

And my love was not a perversion

It was beautiful
