Perfect Romance?

We've all seen them. The perfects. The couples who seem to have it all. No, I'm not talking about money. Not talking about jobs or big houses. It's the couple who pass each other in a crowded room and their hands seem to drift together without thought, without any purpose except to touch. The ones whose love is shown with long looks and whispers of longing meant only for their ears. You've been there. You've seen them in their own world. The one created when they catch each other's eyes and for those two people, the rest of us fade away. You've felt like the outsider, like you should leave them to their moment. Is that something we all want? Is there some inner yearning inside of us all? Even those of us who profess the need to be single forever? Perhaps that is why romance books are so popular. They give us the ability to be in love just like the perfects. If only until the last page, we can stand in their shoes and hold the whisper of love to our hearts.
