What is it?
Is it more than just the fleeting wind of emotions that blow over the first days of meeting?
Is it the whisper of soft words as we're learning each others personalities?
What if it's something else all together?
Those hands that still hold one another when days are few and wrinkled grips find solace intertwined...
The ears that distinctively know the breathe and how it is slowing, and they sit, even when there is nothing that can be done but wait...
The tender look that passes from one set of eyes to the other and can relate a lifetime of meaning without a single word...
Is it knowing that there will be a reunion with them one day after this life is over?
I don't know.
But for now, in the quest for romance seek the truth that will pass through storms and the strength that comes when two are hemmed together in a longing, even a Belonging together.
Maybe that is true romance. You get to decide!
Romance? From the spreading of rose petals on the carpet leading to the bedroom to offering of the last slice of pizza to your dear one (when you KNOW you could have eaten it - and wanted to) romance has an ever-changing definition. It is all of the things you eloquently wrote of in your post. From the simple to the sensual, romance is found in an unlimited variety of moods and settings and is only limited by our hearts.
