A Bridge to You
I can’t run far enough away from myself
Wherever I go you are there in my memory
Despising the distance or
Painfully too close
Every map leads me back to you
Where is this journey ending?
It’s hard to keep pretending
Like the music on my playlist that I stole
That we shared
It wasn’t really mine to hold
But for a moment to enjoy
And I did
Every song, every rhyme, every story
You played right into my history
I’m so emotional, I thought that you were lost
But I still feel near to your heart
No matter how far apart
Let the records play
Of our love of those days
To remember the time and ease the pain
And bridge the distance of our love exchanged

L'amour et Psyche by Francois Edouard Picot, 1817, tells the story of Cupid and Psyche. In the Greek mythological story, Cupid would leave every morning before Psyche woke from her sleep. Psyche's outstretched arm shows the space where Cupid would have been sleeping, however he leaves her in the morning. A great depiction of the complexities of love, status and family. "The angel looks back at the sleeping beauty with a goodbye glance– the older cupid teaching us that love, if anything, is fleeting, and you never know when you’ll wake up and your arm will be outstretched around nothing."
