Expect nothing in return, and watch miracles happen. Love is subtle, and therefore often overlooked. Love is quiet, and therefore sometimes lost amid the noise. Love is gentle, and therefore thought to lack strength. But love powers the universe and every heart in it.
Genuine romance has no ulterior motive.
It is about the expression of love, pure and simple. Granted, this is a lofty goal that is only occasionally attained, but it s definitely a worthy goal. It s certainly fine if some romantic gestures impress. But beware of the lover whose romantic gestures never reveal much about himself, and are always extravagant, expensive, showy and glitzy. Without romance, love becomes merely an empty concept.
