"Once Upon a Time" -- Padme's POV

[the_moons_trick]

I didn’t even think of this until I was several lines past writing it, but someone used the lines “Carelessly I fell in love with you” in their fic (before me, obviously).  It used to be here (I believe it’s called “See What Careless Love Has Done”; it’s H/L, but I don’t know the author), but the URL must have changed since then… Anyway.

Semi-colons can replace commas if the listed objects are longer. If I was sending this to...say, the archive, I might have fallen more on the side of loyalty to commas, but I don't care too much about absolute perfection for this -- it's just Padme :P

I'll take another look at it :)

thanks :D

Uh...that 'she' wasn't supposed to be there :p

thank you *blushes* I'm just glad it's written; maybe the senator will leave me alone now... :p
