Once I fell in love with forests,
With the desert, with the sea,
Once I fell in love with sorrows,
Witnessing a bleak deceit.
Once I fell in love with slander,
Let it feed with no rebuke,
Once I fell in love with someone
Who turned out to be a fluke.
Once I fell in love with worships -
Paint me white, then paint me black.
Once I fell in love with words, and
They stayed true. And loved me back.
