To Be Coy

Playfully Sad

By Rowan Finley Published 5 years ago 1 min read

If life were longer, then playing hard to get wouldn't be such a problem. We could sit, or walk, just enjoying life for its length. I've loved you since forever and yet you keep on refusing my passion. When you and I are dead and gone, it will be too late for us because life is all too short. Now, while you are still young and glazed in radiant beauty... Let us seize the day and make love while we are still young and strong. Let us embrace one another and enjoy the strength and beauty of our found love. Although we cannot stop time that is forever racing, we will, instead, make time fly, if we spend the rest of our lives together.

    Ooooh, this has that seize the moment flair with a dash of poetic charm! A little bit of romance, a little bit of urgency—like whispering sweet nothings with a deadline! Love waits for no one, so why not dive in headfirst, right? What inspired this one? 😂
