Candles and crystal, champagne and strawberries, moonlight and roses...all of these are common symbols of traditional romance. I have nothing against any of these and, indeed, enjoy all of them. They're all beautiful ways of showing love and creating an atmosphere of romance. When I was younger, I thought these were the best ways of showing love, and I was often disappointed. I have found over the years that love and romance take on many forms, and all are significant and fill my heart. Some of the best of the last few years are the assurance that Wayne will be here at the end of the day and will love me no matter how good or bad the day was, flowers "just because", Wayne fixing poached eggs three nights in a row because I was sick and that's all that tasted good, a walk on the beach, holding hands, knowing I'm not expected to be perfect, spending the evening just being together, and Saturday mornings eating breakfast together and reading the paper to each other. Oh, and candles and crystal, champagne and strawberries, moonlight and roses...
