Passive, Tense

You can be the lovely maiden, languishing, bound to a rock.
You can be the lady on a pedestal, yearning for a lord.
You can be the sleeping princess, waiting for a kiss.

He can fight off a dragon (be admiring).
He can swoop down and carry you off (be grateful).
He can kiss you (be receptive).

And always remember,
Be happy.
