Romantic love
– A curious phenomenon with a million definitions
and none of them correct. It's easier to say
what's not romantic when it comes to love.
For instance, sex is hardly a romantic point at all,
while suicide always is when it connects to love.
But most romantic of all love ingredients
is the fundamental one, the simplest and the basic one,
quite ordinary friendship, that can be expanded and enlarged,
constructed on forever and continuously built on and developed
spiting time and lifetimes and so on,
a precious jewel to be shared and commonly enjoyed,
a constantly enduring budding happiness,
a spiritual glory and a lasting comfort
and, above all, faith, trustworthiness and freedom
ultimately ending up in what we all so desperately need and long for,
which is definite true love
that never ceases to be thoroughly romantic.
