I have been thinking about romance a lot lately. It is not by choice, it merely seems to crop up in my thoughts and music more often for some reason, or else I'm just noticing it more. To me, somehow, romance is a lot more than dating, or even marriage. You can have marriage and love without romance. Romance is love but love is not romance. I'm sorry if this makes no sense to anyone, but I need to organize my thoughts. For example, I was at a party on Friday night, and there was a girl there who was sick and throwing up. Apparently this is fairly usual at parties of this sort, but still disgusting, so bear with me. The thing that struck me about this scenario is that the whole time she was sick and bending over the toilet, her boyfriend was there, holding her, comforting her, and keeping her hair out of her face while she was sick. I don't care if you think that's disgusting, to me that's romantic. If someone can see you at your lowest point and still love you, then it is more real than if they just saw you when you were dressed up and on a date with them.
Romance is: Holding someone when they're sick...
Dancing under the stars...
Watching hockey and cheering for your team even when they're losing 12-1...
Laughing at yourself...
Letting go of your self-inflicted chains...
Not caring what others think...
What is it to you?
