I WROTE THIS FOR MY WEBSITE www.whenheartscollide.com LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF IT.

Where has the romance gone is a question I ask a lot these days. I remember when a man or a woman was to be romantic to one another automatically to win the heart of the one they loved.

I remember when I met my wife. To win her heart I dedicated songs on the radio to her, and bought her flowers and chocolates. I wrote poetry about how much she meant to me, and when I finally asked her to marry me I asked her on our favourite radio station and she said yes on the radio as well. Even now 12 years later I still show her how much I love her by writing love songs, showering her with love every day and every time I have to leave her side I will write and text her a poem about how beautiful she is, and how lucky I am to have her in my life.

But romance of today is totally different. A lot of people don't go the extra mile like they use to, and a lot of people expect to find love in a bar or night club. A lot of people don't woo the person they want to be with and are in too much of a rush to sleep with someone before they get to know them properly.

Where have the days gone when you would serenade the one that you love or climb up a trellis to give flowers or chocolates to your sweetheart. I know we must move with the times but surely we must not loose romance altogether.
