What is Romance?

I keep asking myself - What is romance?
Why do people make a big deal of it?
I don't find it so special... at first glance;
- Just a strong attraction, you must admit.

But then I understood it's true meaning
- it's not just about doing things they like;
All it took was a little "mind-cleaning"
- it's not physical, or thinking alike. 

Romance is more about understanding,
valuing and respecting their beliefs;
It's about commitment, notwithstanding 
life's ups and downs, happiness and griefs.

The meaning matures along with our age -
That's why Romance remains such a huge rage.
