A View of What Could Be
A love story in 100 words
There was something familiar about him, something about the apartment, the bed, the kitchen that made me feel comfortable. He made me feel at home, and I was. I’m not quite sure what I was expecting – after the last visit and my fluctuating emotions, I wasn’t sure that I would feel anything. But I did. I caught a glimpse of the man that I knew was there. More attentive, relaxed, happy. I felt his love for me, his desire that extended beyond sex. Maybe a desire to be a part of my life….still not so sure. But I caught a glimpse.

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."
