Have you ever felt this way about someone?
OMG!
Ohhhh my GOD!
I saw you
I saw you!
Like a shooting star on this year’s first night of summer
You flashed by me
I saw you!
Do you have any idea what that did to me?
Did you feel my pulse race?
Did you see the smile on my face?
Do you know what hope and longing was felt in the mere fleeting glance of you?
I saw you
Just like this life –
To flash before these love-sick eyes
A god out of reach

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."
