Love was the name and of course forbidden was the game. 

Because while this was my life, my choice and our love; a game was all it was to those who didn't want to understand. 

I longed to be anyone but a pastors son or to have one who understood. The Bible I had loved for seventeen years now betrayed me as i craved to feel his skin burning mine as his lips caressed my soul. 

But we were forced to keep this tormenting secret, to hide behind an identity we're not to please those who should love us eternally.

You turned to leave

But I realized that right there

was where we need to be

right then.

So I

pinched the fabric at the waist of your shirt

and tugged 

you back inside. 

You whipped around and pressed your mouth to mine. 

My hands were

cupping your face,

the pads of my fingers brushed over 

the freckles on your jaw. 

Your hands were

warm 

at the base of my rib cage.

Whoever said Virginia's for Lovers

was absolutely right.
