Once in Love

I have once fallen in love with you,
the traces of this wonderful, yet,
wonderous feeling may never,
vanish from my soul.

So hopelessly have I once been
in love with you and,
silently I fight with my cowardishness
and bear the pain of jealousy,
only to once more,
behold your gentle sweet smile.

May my feeling never disturb you again,
and may it never add to your sorrow.

I have once loved you
so tenderly, so deeply,
and I wish someone will just
love you as I once have.

- James
The beauty of nature is displayed,
not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.

This is beautiful James.  It's always hard to start a new chapter in life.
