Hopeless Romantics

This is not about couples relationships..but about the beauty and serenity of many things in this life. This is the place to share anecdotes, stories, ideas, parody, goof on each other, and put to rest the poopooing of the idea of romance.

Catherine & Heathcliff, or Rob and Laura Petrie?

Does romance have to have a throw-caution-to-the-wind quality to it, or is it simply a matter of feeling secure enough to open your heart to love?

    I am addicted to romance, but I have to say for every second of ecstatic joy I have had, I seem to have had to pay for it by having double the pain afterwards. Almost as if the gods won't let me be too happy for long. I conclude that love can make or break me. Leonard Cohen says it best:
    'I long for love and light, but must it come so warm, and oh so bright?'
