The Maiden, Gustav Klimt, 1913

National Gallery, Prague

 

I am not a virgin

 

waiting for my first kiss

 

 

I am not a spinster

 

not wanting my last chance to miss.

 

 

I am not a sceptic

 

doubting all that a relationship can hold dear

 

 

I still cherish hope that a romantic link

 

can be sincere.
