Treasures of Life

As a sophomore, I fell in love with drama class. It showcased my very personality. I was once chosen to play a part in a Shakespearean play and I was thrilled. I remember fantasizing about someone writing me poetry like the kind Shakespeare wrote, there was so much depth and love in it. It was not long after the play that my dream came true. I was walking down the gym hall when Rudy, the cutest guy in my art class came up to me, his deep dimples shinning bright and a red rose and an envelope in hand. Rudy thrust the envelope in my hand and gave me the rose. My heart skipped a beat and I flushed, inside the envelope, there was the sweetest romantic poem written. Along with the poem was an invitation for a romantic date.

Rudy picked me up at 7pm the following Saturday night, we drove in silence for a bit and then I mustered the courage to praise him for his romantic poem. Rudy was only too happy to hear how much I appreciated it. He had made special reservations at the restaurant by the beach and we had a table out in the open. The wind blew softly by and the two of us were engrossed in deep chatter and laughter. The moon shone brightly while we sipped our wine. The night was perfect and ended with a soft, gentle kiss on my lips. Indeed, that was the best romantic date I’ve ever had. Rudy and I continue to date, it has been over three years and he has never stopped with his delightful romantic date ideas. Friends often ask me and I ask myself too, is romance the key to our relationship?
