There's nothing essentially romantic about things like roses or jewelry. Romance starts as some blank concept, and then you just fill it in with objects so you have something to point to when you want to make it real.

They are not romantic in the sense of being attached to a deeper meaning. Romantic love can be found in all sorts of places, even material objects. The true romance lies in seeing beauty in the world around you, making it all blossom into something greater.
