Romance

It has not much to do with the web definition. Romance = “A love affair. Ardent emotional attachment or involvement between people” – In most of the cases or in the intensity that I sense, most often it has nothing to do with just people. It is multi faceted and versatile like not many other words.

Romance is a very situational, presently and personal feeling that one feels. It can be with people, nature, animals, books, situations, smell and most often music.

The color of the word ‘Romance’ is most often pink. Since pink is the color of love and passion, Romance is easily linked. Have you ever thought of black romance? Imagine heavy rain and a dark evening, wet breeze that touches your face and passes by or ruffles your hair and disappears. Would you call that pink? Imagine green romance, walking in a open field with tall grass tickling your bare skin – romantic to the hilt. One can make music from the drops of falling rain, which is romance.

Originally the word ‘Romance’ the old French word was borrowed into English (“romaunt” or “romaunce”) and developed in several ways. Since love was an important theme in the vernacular works, the word came to mean a love-story or a love affair. Many of the old stories were also rather far-fetched, full of magic and superhuman feats of arms, and so “romance” also came to mean a tall story, and in some cases a euphemism for a lie. Hence, no one really knows why this word is a representation of love and nothing else.

Of course, the man – woman romance is equally beautiful. It may or may not be platonic but the momentary passion is present in abundance. Romance is temporary since the feeling is very intense and severe. Romance is strong, hearty, heady and enthralling. Anyone who has felt romance has felt the sweet pain of rejection or extreme fervor. Romance has been present forever. It is charming, charismatic, pure and stimulating. It is like an aroma that lingers on long after it is no more……………..
