Cupid, Pulls Back the Bow

CUPID, PULLS BACK THE BOW!

I was walking counting petals
From the daisy in my hand
Thoughts far, really distracted
Should have seen him in my path

But I simply walked past
Eyes down, mind blown
Missed my destined one
My other half, part of my soul

But Cupid was there watching
And as fast grabbed his bow
Sent an arrow through my heart
Made me turn, get back slow

Then I saw him in the path
He was looking right at me
With a shy and cute smile
He said hi, and conquered me

I realized then I had found
The other half of my soul
Thank you, cupid, you captured him
You were right, now pull back the bow!
