Two Straws in a Cup

"Two Straws in a Cup."

As children when we'd drink a beverage we'd
have two straws in it as if taking in twice as much.
But those times have gone and we now use one straw
but the two straws I'd like to reach back and touch.
Two straws in a cup or bottle of any beverage
that with that special person you'd like to share.
Two who are growing closer to one another the two
straws things is for those who truly care.
It's not about being cheap but Romantic a face to
face up close eye to eye thing we have here.
Two are in each other's faces those two straws in a
cup bring two people ever so near.
It's sad that Romance is becoming a lost art of Love
that many young and old are living without.
Sex has replaced Romance and relationships are
crumbling and suffering there's no doubt.
Two straws in a cup face to face could easily lead
to two people kissing and sharing so much more.
Two who are growing deeper in Love, appreciation,
and respect for that special one they adore.
We need to think Romance and do those special crazy
things bring her Mother flowers and her candy too.
Bring back the classics things you see in those old
movies or the things your parents used to do.
Sex should never be on the agenda or the final
destination of any date but that person grow to treasure.
You should look with your heart through all sensitivity
so everything about them you can Love beyond measure.
We're having cooler nights grab a blanket and a cup
of hot chocolate, tea, or cocoa with two straws in it.
Cuddle up together and look into each others eyes
let the flames of Romance become lit.
Hand holding soft music and words whispered
in her ear expressing just how you really feel.
A woman needs to know within herself that she is
very special to you and that you are real.
Two straws in a cup with two who are in Love set
the perfect mood for true Romance.
It's about cherishing your sweetheart for the wonderful
person she is and not about getting into her pants.
