This is not a sin

I've come to a revelation

Because I just can't get you out of my head

And you're leaving me speechless

And now I'm out of breath

Trying to keep up with your perfection

So you won't realize how out of your league I am

And I came to this revelation

Because I can't express how much I like you without using the same words over again

Because when I think of you

Everything I know that could sound intelligent slips away

And even memorizing the full contents of every dictionary

In every language around the world

I'd still be at a loss when we speak

You have a certain je ne sais pas

And I've tripped head over heels for you

And if I'd doubted it before

I can understand so clearly now

This revelation

That it's a damned lie that any love could be a sin

Because pure bliss is not a sin

The lit up smile on my face

The butterflies rattling through my rib cage

And the craving to have a deep relationship with you

Are not a sin

And they were not chosen

If they were chosen I would have picked someone I presumed was in my league

And if they were a sin

I don't think I'd be feeling such immense joy and attraction from it

I'd be avoiding it like the plague

And so now I know that I am not a singular sin walking through my home

As so many people I know and are related to would believe

But I am a ball of light and love

Because I refuse to believe that the bounce in my step

Or the grin on my face

Or my cloudy mind when you always have something perfect and intriguing to say

Are a sin

My existence is not a sin

And this is not a sin

And I love you

Those are the only three things in my oh so unpredictable life

That I am one hundred percent sure of
