Romance isn’t always about the biggest bouquet of red roses,
the stereotypical money-spending date night… Or even an extreme trip to Paris.
That is not what I expected
Like saying I look nice or catching my smile in a random moment.
It can be a lonesome flower from a forgotten flower bed
It can be a sneaky coffee during the workday
Or a picnic in front of the fire
Tell me you’ll make dinner and let me keep you company
It can be in a simple message with hearts and kisses
Or a love letter that I’ve inspired
It’s my favorite food and a thoughtful moment away from me
It can be as simple as toothpaste on my toothbrush
Or a handed towel as the shower switches off
The finger-drawn heart on a steamy shower door
It’s that linger kiss and that gentle smile
It can be the silent touch, that’s filled with love
Or a casual hand hold while walking in a crowd
It’s a call to say “Thinking of you”
It’s capturing the essence of your partner in an image
And making that your profile
Or merely an expression of why you love what we have
It’s a welcome home hug and a goodbye kiss
It is a coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night
Its a wink across the crowd
A simple arm around the shoulder when I am down
It is texting me when one of our songs is on the radio
Or secret message in a facebook post with something only we would know
It is a hidden note or friendly reminder
A uncomplicated understanding
Romance is drying that tear and patiently listening
It is that deep breath when anger is spoken
It is the language of souls and ego-destroyer
Romance is work and out-the-box thinking
A business plan that aims to succeed with someone
Romance is speaking in a language we don’t have to understand, but learn
Romance evolves, it is the spark that keeps us together.
