Romance

R omance in the night?
O nly in dreams nowadays.
M en have lost the skill
A nd women miss that still.
N o more flowers or candles.
C uddles or sweet nothings.
E nd of days for romantic ways.

Both are at fault for letting romance fade away. My man still brings me flowers and its been over thirty five years...I am looking at his roses right now. But I do know what you mean. Guess a sweet text is the next best thing my daughters tell me. I enjoyed your acrostic Jean. I love your style. ; ) 7

Between you and I Anne-Lise, the man who sends a bouquet to me at my work, will win my heart forever.

You just haven't met the right man! Love the humor Jean. You're looking for a young man and they know nothing about real romance. Sex maybe, romance no.

OK then Daniel. I will compromise. Not so young, as long as he knows what he's at, in the romance field. How's that??
