Pavlova Kasanova

An ode to the bittersweet tyranny of distance

in long distance relationships. Date any Australian,

and you’ll quickly learn about it.

Crowd pleaser, thief of hearts

Too wild for beginners, gold on your scars

A heart of cream, eyes full of stars

Sugar kisses, midnight guitars

A Christmas kiss on a sunburnt day

A licence to love, but never to stay

Our love is a timeplay we can’t outrun—

Midnight for you, sunrise for one

Hard to catch, impossible to forget

Hot summer dream, now just a silhouette
