I live for the affection.

Stroking my hair? Yes. Rubbing my hand with your thumb? Yes please. Side hug around my waist while walking? Omg yes. Washing my hair, cooking for me, calling me nicknames? Yes, yes, yes.

Fragment 33

by Sappho tr. Julia Dubnoff

When you lie dead, no one will remember you For you have no share in the Muses’ roses. No, flitting aimlessly about, You will wildly roam, a shade amidst the shadowy dead.

[lionofchaeronea]

Come, shining lyre, speak to me--gain the power of utterance. ἄγι δὴ χέλυ δῖα μοι λέγε φωνάεσσα δὲ γίνεω. --Sappho, fr. 118
