I ask how does it start,
In the head or in the heart?
Sparked by touch, sight, smell or sound
Or secret process still unfound?
Romance
I ask how does it grow,
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow?
Perhaps the best ingredient
Is time, the time together spent.
Romance
I ask how does it last,
Surviving from the distant past?
Nurture always is required
If endurance is desired.
Romance.
I ask if it will be
Still a bond ‘tween you and me?
As we grow older, adding years
I’ll work to vanquish all such fears.
Romance.
I ask is it above
The deep commitment we call love?
No. Love survives the circumstance
That threatens feelings of romance.
