What is romance? Sure, it can be all of those things, but to every person it's different. What is your idea of romance?

Romance to me is that moment when you search across the room and your eyes find his. Your breath catches in your throat. Your heart threatens to beat out of your chest. By a force beyond your control, you move into his waiting arms. He crushes you against his hard, chisled chest. As if in slow motion, his head moves ever so slowly towards yours. Your lips tingle in anticipation, they ache for his touch. Your hand slids into his tousled hair, pulling him closer. A moan chokes its way from your mouth....

Romance is that weak-kneed, heart-stopping, take your breath away moment when you realize you can no longer live without him.
