Romance Is Not For Cravens



If you want to mingle. If you want to blend
Romance is not for cravens; you must play the friend

If you want to cuddle. If you want to clinch
Romance is not for cravens; you must curb the flinch

If you want to partner. If you want to mate
Romance is not for cravens; you must tempt the fate

If you want to boogie. If you want to dance
Romance is not for cravens; you must win the chance

If you want to flourish. If you want to thrive
Romance is not for cravens; you must scrap the hive

If you want to parent. If you want to sire
Romance is not for cravens; you must brave the fire

If you want to marry. If you want to hitch
Romance is not for cravens; you must belt the pitch
