Passing Strange

Cupid's Aim

Cupids Aim

by sloanranger

I'd set terms in my mind long ago,

if it happened again I would know -

not to rush in,

take time and then

just see how things would go.

Without knowing I was attracting

the very thing I was exacting -

you came and you offered

what I had proferred,

look now, how I've been acting.

Perhaps it's the dance or the game,

or I didn't expect the same,

thing that I'd asked -

at least not so fast –

when out of the blue, you came.

So let's continue to play this game

and rather than stake a claim –

get to know one another

before we become lovers,

and answer to Cupid's aim.
