“There’s the transcendent sense of tenderness you feel toward a person who sparks your interest. There’s the sublime feeling of relief and reward when that interest is returned. There are the flowers you buy and the poetry you write and the impulsive trip you make to the other side of the world just so you can spend 48 hours in the presence of a lover who’s far away.” —> Some people would ask cynically “Why ‘romance’ people when you can simply ‘love’ them? Such a hassle n nonsense” and I will ask them back “why season your food when you can simply eat it plain? why would you have guitar, violin, drum, piano, all played in harmony when you can simply sing and clap your hands?” nonsense? think again.. :)
