Sin
We were meant to be together. I knew it from the moment I lay eyes on him, knew it the first time he spoke to me. Hearing his voice, so soft and rough, made me want to cry. I longed for him, even before I knew his name. And when I did learn it, it became the most sacred word.
He was cold at first, but soon his true gentle nature revealed itself to me. It made me love him all the more. The time we spent together is my most precious memory.
Unfortunately, he was studying to be a priest and I was his classmate. …another boy. Under the watchful eyes of God, we could do nothing. But the bond between us was too great to be denied.
One fateful night, under a black moon, we held each other as lovers, kisses and heat searing into our flesh, branding us with the weight of our desire… and sin.

We were found out and we were separated. I, the one thought to have “initiated” the relationship, was expelled. And he was sent to a monastery, to never see the outside world again.

Dear God… I know I wasn’t wrong. I would do the same thing again and again until the day I die. I know I am far down the path of sin. But please…

…allow me to see him again.
