I asked you to define romance.
I can't remember word-for-word what you'd said
I can however, freeze and replay the moment you replied.
Your feet were buried in the Earth
Fingers sifting sand
You washed your hands in the water
Sealed the space between us and held my hand.
We shared a perfect silence that could inspire God.
You then asked me to define romance
I can't remember word-for-word what I'd said, either.
I can however, tell you what I'd say now.
Romance is how I felt holding your hand.
We could take over the world without saying a word.
