Naive longing for an apparently different person? not sure what you mean there. Rephrase? Romance as I see it is the chemical processes that create longing/desire...Help?

I smell string theory! not sure what you mean by reference to the one. Is that the particle theory that there is a smallest of particles in everything in the universe? Set me some markers for this one and I will happily follow:) On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 2:30 PM, ornamentalmind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > "…romance is ephemeral at best,…" – CB > > IF by 'romance' you mean the naïve longing for an apparently different > person, of course you are correct.
