Romance is not all about flowers or candy.
Romance is not about fancy meals or money.
It's not about pink sunsets or expensive trips.
It's nothing to do with the long, passionate kiss.

The root of romance is compassion and real love.
It's holding your partner's hand when things become tough.
It's wiping away tears after getting sad news.
It's doing the morning chores and letting you snooze.

Romance is lying together and embracing.
It's settling me down while my heart is racing.
It's kissing my forehead when I have a headache.
Romance is shielding me from the pain and heartbreak.

True romance is being my one partner in life.
It's being my loving husband and I your wife.
It's growing old together, through the good and bad.
It's taking on all life's challenges, hand in hand!
