It doesn't sound like a question but it's often propounded
A question long pondered the answer unfounded
Books, movies and novels, into them I would bask
Still no answers, so I decided to ask
With a friend, a parent, a co-worker I would debate
This is all too confusing, I'll have to ask my mate
Asking your mate, certainly that's not romantic
But they had the perfect answer, a relief to my panic
If I knew it was that simple, I would've asked much sooner
One step to romance and now a honeymooner
How to bridge the romance gap.
