Romance

It’ll never truly fade

as long as there’s a woman to fight for it’s place

Romance

it’s more than just a word

but a presence

an action

a small smirk

Romance

is a touch of hands

a red lip stain

a warm embrace

a slight eye exchange

a flickery fire

Romance

is about the small things

a graceful appreciation of one for  another

Romance

is music that makes you feel like you want to be in love

a song that you can feel

Romance

is the opening of a car door

the pulling out of a chair

a few wine glasses

and dinner set for two

flowers given for no reason

unexpected compliments

White Flag waves freely

as I surrender the fantasy

and reality is a present meaning

no longer masked but imaginary things

the credits role

to a sappy love song that hurts the soul

the movie’s over

and the space beside, is bare

Romance

deserves so much more

where, where has it gone?

or better yet

where has it been coming from?
