(AN: The muse is the same, as begun in my first poem, To My Lili Marlene. The title of this poem is inspired by a quote by a soldier of the French Foreign Legion when asked how he felt about his decision to join it. I never told her how I feel because every time I've loved before I've experienced only hurt and rejection.) Je Ne Regrette Rien (I have no regrets) Je ne regrette rien. "I have no regrets," and say again. It had been two years. Before I overcame inner fears. And allowed myself to love again. Je ne regrette rien. Your beauty, outer and inner scaled the final keep. Making me capable of making a faithful leap. Despite the pain of last September. Even weeks from then I still remember. Je ne regrette rien. I'd fall in love with you all over again. Even if I knew the outcome would be the same. I can admit to myself I love you without shame. Je ne regrette rien. I'd let myself love again for you Lili Marlene. You asked me then, had I met your boyfriend. To my very soul that question did tear and rend. Je ne regrette rien. Knowledge, would I allow myself to risk this pain? Of course. If I let the barriers remain in place. I'd never have seen beyond your beautiful face. Je ne regrette rien. I'll risk it again, for you my Lili Marlene. I'm glad your friendship I truly can enjoy. My romantic ideals cynicism has yet to destroy. Je ne regrette rien. I'm glad that you can call me a good friend. Even though my billet is not in your arms. Even for him are meant your charms. Je ne regrette rien. Though some nights I feel I'm dying in pain. Even though again, rejection rears her ugly head. Though much of my hope seems to have fled. Je ne regrette rien. I said it before and say it proudly again. I'm glad to be gifted by your smile bright. To a darkened man like me it can bring him light. Je ne regrette rien. I am equally glad to call you friend. Lonely and adrift emotionally, still. My romanticism is fairly hard to kill. Je ne regrette rien. I let myself love you, my Lili Marlene. Though I feel like the Foreign Legion in the sands. Fighting against incredible odds in distant lands. Je ne regrette rien. I'll let myself love you still, my Lili Marlene. I fear you'd turn from me should you ever find out. Like many a girl before, who's called me a lout. Je ne regrette rien. I'm willing to risk it, again and again. I remember you smiled at me on Wednesday. My heart soared greatly through the week to Friday. Je ne regrette rien. Your friendship is worth the occassional pain. I yield, if it is in his arms you wish to be. Go to it then, worry not for me. Je ne regrette rien. I'll endure despite the pain. But know if his love should be untrue. Know my heart is always open for you. Je ne regrette rien. I shall wait through all anguish and pain. For you my Lili Marlene. |

(big hugggssssssss) Oh, but Carl, if you don't let her know how you feel, that is very unhealthy, for in the long run, unrequited love becomes a deep unfathomable regret and can only affect relationship after relationship if not overcome! (sad sigh) I wish for you to tell your Lil Marlene how much you love her so at least she knows that she is special to you and then you still have no regrets, God Bless You, I send heart hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Carl, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
