Just like me!
I enjoyed this as a piece of music, it's technically accomplished, mixed well etc. but I'm not sure I can quite relate it to the image. Certainly it more than hints at what you might hear at the climax of a modern blockbuster or animated film. I can hear struggle and determination for sure, but love and passion, appreciation of this lovely girl... I think tone is a bit too powerful and the texture a bit too full as a standalone piece. However, I assume there's some softer sections to come as it's a work in progress, so it may well fit in neatly bookended with other stuff. Good stuff.
I like it so far, but you need more tensions in your chords (major 7ths, 9ths, sus4's), notably on the I chords to bring out the strain in the romance. I did a track in a bit more calmer of a light but still in a super-romantic sort of feel and I used some strings doing some pretty thick chords and it wasn't until the final chord that they lost the tensions (sent in a PM). A piece that really pushes the tensions = love thing is from Civ 5 and formed an inspiration for me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmE1J6xt4gY). Just tears at your heart, esp. at 0:50. :)
It's an interesting route you're taking. I just caution you to keep your theme clear and textures dynamic. Love is an emotion that can lead to staleness or oversaturation of the texture if not careful, therefore it's important to have strong dynamics between portions so the richness of the texture doesn't overwhelm the listener (unless it's score, in which case, you can probably get away with overly rich texture).
Definitely an interesting path worth exploring!
