Things that sparkle, things that shine
Candles, moonlight, fire, and wine
But all I need
Is you with me
True romance is a state of mind
I don’t need to be showered with presents. I don’t need fancy restaurants or a night on the town. I need his attention, his kiss, his laughter. I want to talk about important things. I want his secrets, I’ll give him mine. It can be simple or complicated, either way is fine.
Here’s another artist from my part of the world – Bucks County, PA: singer-songwriter Christina Perri, with this sweetly romantic song – The Words.
Meg Sorick, Author/Artist 
Love it! 😃

You’re very welcome! By the way, your fish should be there tomorrow. When you see the box, don’t get too excited. It’s not a box of bacon, as the package would imply. It was all my wife could find. 😃

Oh yes. Between the bath and the axe-wielding, let’s just say I’m inspired. Which is good because I have nothing prepared for fiction-friday yet… But he is…uh…distracting. I may have to watch repeatedly for at least a week before I’m capable of using him for inspiration. 😀 lol
