Yes, I’m a Flirt

If it means being a good human being

If being sweet is flirting,

Yes, I’m a flirt.

If appreciating someone is flirting,

Yes, I’m a flirt.

If complimenting someone is flirting,

Yes, I’m a flirt.

If saying yes to someone’s call for help is flirting,

Yes, I’m a flirt.

If smiling at everyone, strangers and friends alike is flirting,

Yes, I’m a flirt.

If being your true self is flirting,

Yes, I’m a flirt.

If talking to people to make them feel comfortable is flirting,

Yes, I’m a flirt.
