Sugar-Free Romance
I can't believe its true, but it is. I have been a victim of a sugar-free romantic life. I claim to be a "hopeless romantic" when in fact must be the absolute truth because I can't really say that I have experienced anything close to what you would call real romance. Therefore I am hopelessly awaiting those times in my life that can be deemed "romantic." I have had romantic dinners; ONE that I can recall. I have been written romantic love letters; when I was in the 11th grade. I have been sent a bouquet of flowers with a romantic card a grand total of 4 times in my almost 10 years of dating, (and never twice by the same person). I have made love that was beautiful, sensual, emotional, and romantic; but the post-coitus ambiance was not what you would call "romantic." I have been given lavish gifts, meaningful sentiments, and sparkling diamonds; but I fail to see how the gift is supposed to be romantic if the thoughts behind it are not. I feel cheated. I would have to say that I am in fact a true, real-life, hopeless romantic.
