ROMANCE IS ALIVE
You once told her
Romance isn’t out there
That her search would be
An effort in futility.
Well, she had to prove herself right
For you see, she found it.
Although, it had a difficult
Face and touch.
She thought it was
What she wanted,
But it wasn’t you,
She wasn’t satisfied.
She found that romance
Means nothing if there isn’t
Any love involved.
She found it was the love
That created the romance.
The passion that passed
Between two people,
Is the romance.
Oh yes, it’s there.
Just not with the face and touch
She wanted.
Maybe someday she’ll find it again
With the face, touch
And love all in one.
