True romance is where you are true soulmates.
Where you have enough in common that you don't conflict each other in any major way.
Yet you are different enough that it remains interesting.
It's also where you totally let go, and accept each other, and yourselves as who you and they are.
It only works if you are capable of unconditional love, and they are too.
If you can manage it, it's the best love you will ever find, and nothing will ever compare to it.
If you're really lucky like me, you will find it in your spouse.
You won't live happily ever after like a fairy tale.
But you will support each other through hard times, which makes sticking together worthwhile, and the hard times easier to cope with.
