Death
Is wanting to grow old with your true love not the same desire as just lying down and dying together? In graveyards, people become immortalized together--laying side-by-side with two names inscribed on a tombstone. Maybe the couple was falling apart or they never truly loved each other, yet, together, they lie for eternity's time.
Perhaps, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet remains regarded as romantic solely because of their tragic death. Rather than live without the other, Romeo and Juliet choose to die with their true love. In a way, isn't death romantic?
