Romance and Love 浪漫与真爱

These are two different things, I believe. 我确信这是两回事
Unfortunately many equate them to be the same. 不幸的是很多人认为他们是相同的
Everyone wants their beloved to bring them the moon;
Or to sweep up your feet and partying there.  每个人都渴望带着自己心爱的人到月亮上轻歌曼舞，参加盛宴
Have you really thought of the consequences? 你真正想过那后果是什么吗?

Really! 事实上

To love someone true, is not just by mere words of, "I Love You". 真爱一个人，不是把“我爱你”挂在嘴边
All these are just gestures of romance and nothing to do with love. 那只是浪漫的姿态，与真爱无关
Romance is the notion and Love is the real McCoy. 浪漫是形式，真爱是实质

Real love is 真爱是

Instead of a goodbye kiss in the morning as he goes to work…
But to let you continue slumbering in uninterrupted bliss; 不是临行前的一吻，而是让你继续沉浸在甜美的梦境
Not to dine in the fanciest restaurant of the town, 不是去城里的豪华餐厅进餐
But a common cookie that suddenly found its way onto your computer desk! 而是普通的饼干突然出现在你的电脑桌前

True Love is when both of you are tired from the party,
It is he whom at the kitchen sink, quietly and cheerfully washing dishes away
So that you can relax and enjoy gossiping with friends. 真爱是你和她都很累地从宴会上回到家，他在厨房高兴地、平静地洗着盘子，以便于你能够和朋友轻松地闲聊
Perhaps a cooked breakfast in bed for no particular reason or on a special day;
It's just because he wanted to do something nice for you! 一份做好的，送到床边的早餐，没有特别的理由，不是特殊的日子，只是他想为你做些美好的事情

Glittering diamonds are wonderful but they 闪光的钻石是绝妙的，但他们散发着冷冷的寒光，怎比你贴近他的胸膛用耳朵聆听他的心跳
Sparkled cold compared to the beating heart as your ears pressed against his chest.

True love is not by the mere words of "I Love You" 真爱不是把“我爱你”挂在嘴边
But by the words he texted, "I'll be late for home. At the grocery store. Need anything there?" 而是一个短信，“我在便利店，需要晚一点回家，家里需要什么吗？”

As for the greatest gift of all…

By coming home to you in one safe piece! 世界上最好的礼物就是你能够安全的回到家中。
