WP Daily Prompt: What’s your definition of romantic?
Lee Morris -Worlds made in Midjourney
I was friends with a woman who wrote tons poetry ( Well, porn-etry ) about her new found love and well into her 60’s decided to take up rollerblading because she had found her ‘soul mate ‘ and she felt young again.
She told me about her new ‘wardrobe’ from Victoria Secret and the books of ” erotic art ‘ that they enjoyed together.
These were expensive books created by respected artists- she said.
She told me about the restaurants they explored together and how it felt like something as simple as eating in an establishment that gave it’s younger patrons crayons to occupy themselves while they wait for their meal felt like a golden adventure.
This, she told, me was her enjoying ‘romance’ like a teenager.
The short of it is, in my mind what she described to me came down to Pizza and Porn and sitting around in her underwear with her ‘soulmate’ so-
just as I was thinking she was a Dofus who was painting a picture of ‘true love’ worthy of being stamped on greeting card or turned into a lifetime movie it occurred to me, she really was enjoying romance like a teenager again.
I’d rather sit on a beach at night and wait for a ghost ship to sail by, but that’s me and I am no teenager.
