The One I Shouldn't Have

I don't care anymore
About the one I should
Or shouldn't love
I feel so alive
With the one
I shouldn't have
It is amazing
That two people
With such disparate lives
Can merge them into one
So unconventionally smooth
I love you
I've loved others as well
But
there is more than love
To consider
There is how one feels
In the presence of another
And with you
I feel so alive
Maybe I could do "better"
But "better" can be so stifling
Let me break the accepted
the expected routine
And live
You are the one
I shouldn't have
Then again
Maybe you're the one
That I should
