FLIRTATION

Eros & Psique - Antonio Canova 

What is that witchcraft of yours that makes me think about you as soon as I wake up until I fall asleep?

Twenty miles away is what divide us but that distance is the one thing that makes me crave being with you now;

Why and how did you choose me to be the target of your arrows, these heart-shaped arms that send me attention and affection just because I am the subject of your mind? 

I beg you to make me feel more of it, longer and stronger, for I want to be with you and give my heart away to such tender passion, this strange addiction of giving and receiving in a pure and worthy way;

I swear I’m trying not to think this is all fun and games, a lie, because from a broken heart there is nothing else to get

But sadness and disappointment 

And as a queen of disappointments I wish to throw my crown away and dive into your waters,

Which, I’m sure, are a nice place to surrender [in your arms].
