Romance is
a shy glance returned in kind
a note of love read with hungry mind
a trusting hand reaching out
a knowing smile with no doubt
a touch that makes you smile
a smile that makes your life worthwhile
a poem said from one of you
a lover's whisper "I love you"
a scenic walk along hand in hand
a beach with clear pure white sand
a gentle breeze through your hair
a shared laugh and longing stare
a sandcastle made by two
a searching look that beckons you
a sunset watched with patient view
a quiet phrase for only you
a word unspoken but still understood
a squeezed hand that feels so good
a thought of them and not you
a dim lit table just for two
a garden walk with hands entwined
a perfect night when you dined
a tender word that touched your heart
a lonely place when you're apart
a picture that etches in your brain
a pleaseing picture to sustain
a caressing hand in your hair
a note with flowers that lovers share
a special song meaning more
a kind of feeling you are living for
a racing heart when you're near
a happy thought and glimpse of tear
a private thought and maybe more
a sad look that you can not ignore
a skipped heartbeat until you know
a secret to you they must bestow
a pensive question and anxious stare
a relieved mind when you "don't care"
a honest word bereft of claim
a warmth when they say your name
a look allowed into your very soul
a memory that surpassed your goal
a gentle caress that means so much
a gaze that meets anothers such
a tender embrace with caring hands
a sharing of thoughts without demands
a single instance on this earth
a special moment shows its worth
a first sublime eternal kiss
a single instant that just Is
