Only Once Poem by White Tiger

Only once have I met a woman without pretence
She wasn't like the others, she was intense

When I first met her, I could not believe
I was surrounded by this woman, so naive

In a way she opened my heart to be
Softer than usual and always free

She observed around her, with priority
And made sense of it, without anxiety

She gave life all she was, with emotion
And made me understand her devotion

Wherever she is, I wish her the best
Within a life of happiness, in conquering her quest.
