Love is not found in a fast food wrapper
Quickly consumed, the left-overs tossed away.
There is much delight to be discovered and love nurtured
In a leisurely slowly paced gourmet meal.

Genuine romantic love must be allowed to breathe,
To be savored in delicate short sips not long gulps.
Inhale the rich fragrance, wallow in the aura
And then let if flow through your lips & discover the chemistry.

Ignore the temptation to rush the chef or to quickly consume the food
Hunger is surely sated when slowly appeased and not by fast food.
Admire the glowing of soft candlelight, the soft music in the background
While eyes meet and reveal the feelings deep within  and hands touch.

Become acquainted with your dining mate, his or her every whim
Till the entrée is steaming and hot and looking so appetising
The meal will be then most delectable, most delicious, most scrumptious.
Patience rewarded with fondness sought and genuine love discovered.

When the dessert cart shines brightly before you, its time to salivate.
You can indulge in a treat divine that you do deserve.
As the sugar melts in your mouth give thanks and be very happy
For you allowed love to take its sweet time and that love will last a lifetime.
