I don't get romance, but I do get a strong sense of loneliness, and maybe a little bit of despair. But I got the same feelings from some of Shakespeare's stuff too. Maybe melancholy is a better term. Can that be considered romance? Don't get me wrong, I'm not well versed or anything, but I have done some reading, and I really am a bard. Some of my more stirring instrumental work has been labelled the same way, or as just "a funeral dirge". This from a good friend. Haunting! That's the term I'm looking for. It stays with you after you've read it. But I don't see the romance. I hope these ramblings can give you a little bit of help.
