Remember when Virginia Woolf said “her eyes are pure stars, and her fingers, if they touch you, freeze you to the bone”, and then Oscar Wilde said “I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them”, the feels in this.

Let’s bring back old romance. Send that person a love letter, write a piece of music dedicated to them or a song about them. Buy them their favourite flowers and then take them to the theatre. Take walks with them in the park while reciting their favourite poems to them. Cook for them when they don’t ask and make them tea when they seem stressed. Lounge together on a couch and let the day drift by. Sneak out of the house together late at night to go and watch the stars.
Let’s bring old romance back!
