Cupids Arrows
Years ago it happened to me
I went to a friends wedding
And there I met a man
But on this meeting my spirit danced
And I felt something hit my heart
Not painful but it was something
I never encountered before.
I had spend years building a wall
To protect me from hurt.
And this night my walls were
Shaking and I was getting flustered.
Very strange it was to feel this way.
My calm composure had left me
And the minute I looked into
Those eyes and that gorgous face
I was gone forever.
You will never know what it did to me.
For I wanted to go sit on your lap
And kiss your lips.
I wanted to run away with you.
Oh Lord what was that?
Was that cupids arrows hitting my heart?
How I wish I had done what I felt
For maybe then I would know.
Or would I?
Today I sit wishing I had done
Something other then just sitting there.
For maybe I will always wonder.
Was it cupids arrows that hit me that day?
Some might say it was lust.
But I can tell you that it was more
Perhaps it was cupids arrows.
Will I ever know for sure?
I can only hope and pray
That one day I will.
