Romance - a dying relationship???

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong

Our dreams are young
And we both know they'll take us
Where we want to go

(Chorus 1)
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

(Chorus 2)
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

(Chorus 3)
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life
But nothing's gonna change my love for you

If the road ahead is not so easy,
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too

Yesterday I was feeling pretty bored as there was no electricity from around 12 at noon to 1930. So somehow in between I switched on the radio. I happened to stumble upon Radio City 91 FM and there was a program called "Me, You and a Girl named Sue". Some how the program was interesting and it was playing English tracks. Those old golden tracks. And I happened to hear this song - one of my old favourites. Now somehow or the other I believe myself to be a romantic. Flowers, gifts, thinking of how to make one's love's day special etc.. still seem to me to be the epitome of true romance. But I have to warn you, I've never been romantically involved at all, so well this is why maybe I still live and believe in a fantasy romance. When I was listening to this song, the first thing that striked me was, " Does such romance exist?. Is there such a thing like true love?" In this age of one night stands, promiscuous sex, live in relation ships and stuff does there exist something like true love? People driven by carnal instincts, a basic animal instinct of satisying a need of the body. Is there such a thing as everlasting romance? The media, the world around us is filed of incest, lust and such. Couples in a relationship refuse to get married as they feel they will get grounded, they will lose their allure and charm in the singles market. It is truly a sad situation. But whenever I hear these lyrics "Hold me now, Touch me now, I don't want to live without you" the romantic within me believes that some where there still lies a mirage of such emotions in this world.
