A story about bruises

William-Adolphe Bouguereau-Cupid with a Butterfly

I often discover bruises on my body but I have no idea where do they come from.

When I was young, I heard people said that those little blue marks were caused by ghosts which attacked without us noticing. I found this Chinese saying scary then and tried to hide those marks in order to prevent others from knowing that ghosts had hit me which I considered as a punishment from God.

When I was a little bit older, I learnt that was just another story by the imaginative Chinese.
Thus I invented another story about my bruises-from-no-where. I believe that these little marks are caused by the arrows shot from Cupid's bow. From then on, whenever I find a bruise on my thigh or arm, a smile appears on my face. I am happy that love has fallen on me (although it hurts ocassionally when pressed against)...

Do you have this evidence of love all over you? I hope you do too.
