Can You Help Me Define Romance (Part 2)
There are 21 definitions for “romance” on dictionary.com. None of them do the word justice. To me, romance is a memory you have of being with someone that stays with you forever. Within this memory, you have sensory recollection: smells, sounds (crickets at night, waves, wind through leaves, voices), and visions (maybe the way the lights in the surrounding city swirled around their face when you looked at them). In this sense, you can have romantic memories with friends/family as well as lovers, or even moments you remember when you were alone.

Can You Help Me Define Romance? (Part One)
This past weekend, I was at my parent’s house and I took look through my memory box that I keep under my bed. While rifling through old ticket stubs, notes from classes, letters, sugar packets or receipts from restaurants, and napkins or scratch paper with girls’ phone numbers on them, even (I admit) old MASH games (a game of chance where you write down four people you’d like to end up with someday), I grew a bit concerned. The item I was looking for was not there. I’ve always had a strict policy of saving items to mark moments of romantic significance in my life. These are my romantic relics (“relic” is defined in Wikepedia as: an object or a personal item of someone of religious significance, carefully preserved with an air of veneration as a tangible memorial.) I was relieved when I remembered there was another box in my closet--an even older box that held the item I was looking for. Here is the story behind that item: In ninth grade I had a huge crush on a senior girl in my Latin Class (Latin I that some of the seniors took just to meet a requirement, while us freshman started to learn a whole new language). The toughest part of the crush was that we developed a friendship. By the time the year ended, I had been to some parties with her and always said “hi” to her in the hallway and was not afraid to approach her. The friendship was just enough contact in my fifteen-year-old mind to make me think there was hope of us maybe becoming boyfriend-girlfriend.
