Why I'm Here Today

I'm standing in a church with you today
even though I don't belive in God.
But I do have faith in something.

I have faith in our love, strength, and passion.
I have faith in our future, our past, and in your kiss.

We came together because you made me laugh
And you said I taught you to smile sincerely.

We stayed together because you made my soul hurt
from trying to say what words can't describe.

We didn't wait until after this moment
to know each others' bodies for the first time,
and yet I think we'll still be as pure tonight
as the first time I blushed when you tugged my shirt.

But we didn't exclusively know each others bodies.
We took a break for awhile, and that kills some couples.
I had a few times away from you with others
And found myself thinking about you, despite myself.

And you did something almost the same, but better,
because you came to me and said you didn't want this.
That if it was hurting me, it wasn't worth it.
You wanted to be faithful, even before I did.

And even after getting together again,
I still felt as virginal and naughty as I did the first time.

Because you pull all my walls down, every time.

Because you see through the faces I show the rest of the world.

Because when you said you loved me, it didn't lead to sex right then,
just your arms around me.

Because I can't get enough of you. I never will.
