How can I love somebody else... |

How can I love somebody else but thee, Whose image is reflected in my cup? For even when my eyes refuse to see, My dreams displaying thee will never stop! How can I live abreast of my desire, And hear that heartbeat echo as my own? When from within, there burns a sacred fire, How can I love and be as cold as stone? Oh, lengthy hours, teach me to ignore, So I may look upon him with no feeling, So I may gaze into my cup and not adore The beauty of the man who’s so appealing. How must I live against myself opposed? Consume my pride?—Oh, I’ll be overdosed! I fell in love and kept on falling |

It takes alot to be able to write sonnets, and you seem to have all the qualifications...nice work. "I wont look back, I wont regret, though it hurts like hell someday I will forget" |
