Redemption

I just met you but
It’s easy to smile back at you
Like an angel in disguise
Staring into the blue
words sailing smooth
I’m a serial sinner but
I didn’t expect to find
redemption in your eyes
I swear I’ve learned the lesson
and I have no aspirations
other than honouring
a friendly connection
and I have no intentions
other than enjoying
a casual conversation
You’ll see this time
I’ll get it right
You’re not them
You’re not but
you ask the same questions.
