You better believe it! The smile in your face, the twinkle in your eye told me that you loved me.

Tender feelings, yes. We loved each other for who we were. For me, it was you, Juliet, and not another.

Yes, I did not care about your money or your good looks. There was something mysterious about the whole of you.

Modern courtship to the rescue! That reserved time span may tell if a blaze calms down or if a kindling catches on.

Ah, you're so smart. But did you know that all intimate loves need erotic passions as fuel to burn?

Be careful, Romeo. Erotic passions? These words bring up all kinds of visceral associations in people's minds.

I know. But humans are not made to be wallflowers. I prefer to talk frankly else an audience may just walk away.
