Her First Confession
Six and a half to separation
But if I go backwards, I can still feel the newness of your skin
It was your life that made me pause
Six and a half to separation
I can't go backwards, only you now older stand before me
You are pure beauty to us
Holding you then, this feels different
Small, incapable, inculpable
Now, less, more, culpable
Six and a half to destination
I can't go backwards, only He stands before us
You see Him, my heart faints
I have less of you now, only your hand
Small, resolved, wanting
I thought I was leading
Six and a half to salvation
In His vicars, He waits for you
In the host, He calls you
And you hear
You answer
You give
You receive
And I realize that this wasn't separation
I was leading and
You were following
Six and a half to salvation
We can't go back, only forward
but now we are together, equals in eternity
And I realize that this wasn't separation
I was leading and
You were following
Him
