1. In all the world there is

no heart for me like yours.

In all the world there is

no love for you like mine.

— Maya Angelou

2. She had the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen

And it took only her laugh to realize

that beauty was the least of her.

— Atticus

3. It was you

It was me

It was the silence

Underneath the stars

That understood my heartbeat.

And it's racing.

You told me nothing.

I believed everything.

In that moment I found life.

In that moment I found you.

— Paul Perry

4. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 

Thou art more lovely and more temperate: 

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, 

And summer's lease hath all too short a date: 

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 

And often is his gold complexion dimmed, 

And every fair from fair sometime declines, 

By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: 

But thy eternal summer shall not fade, 

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, 

Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, 

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: 

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, 

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. 

— William Shakespeare, Sonnet 18

5. Love is anterior to life,

Posterior to death,

Initial of creation, and

The exponent of breath.

— Emily Dickinson

6. Never seek to tell thy love,

Love that never told can be;

For the gentle wind does move

Silently, invisibly.

— William Blake

7. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day’s

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

— Elizabeth Barrett Browning

8. O my Luve is like a red, red rose

That’s newly sprung in June;

O my Luve is like the melody

That’s sweetly played in tune.

— Robert Burns (excerpt)

9. Love at the lips was touch

As sweet as I could bear;

And once that seemed too much;

I lived on air

— Robert Frost (excerpt)

10. Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—

Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

And watching, with eternal lids apart,

Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,

The moving waters at their priestlike task

Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask

Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—

No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,

Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,

To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,

Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

— John Keats

just talking to you makes my day

I love you honey with all of my heart

together forever and never to part.

— Justin Cauley

and when love comes

love will hold you

love will call your name

love will play no games

cause love knows life

has been hard enough already

— Rupi Kaur

10. When I first saw you,

I saw perfection.

When I got to know you,

I saw pain.

When I started loving you,

I saw strength.

Now…all that I see

Is what means everything to me

— Asher C. Childress

long enough

So much more special.

that you

make me

weak in the knees,

but

to be quite upfront,

and completely

truthful,

you

make my body forget

it has knees

at all.

— Tyler Knott Gregson

6. You and I

Have so much love,

That it

Burns like a fire,

In which we bake a lump of clay

Molded into a figure of you

And a figure of me.

Then we take both of them,

And break them into pieces,

And mix the pieces with water,

And mold again a figure of you,

And a figure of me.

I am in your clay.

In life we share a single quilt.

In death we will share a single coffin.

— Married Love by Guan Daosheng

7. My love for you is like the raging sea,

So powerful and deep it will forever be.

Through storm, wind, and heavy rain,

It will withstand every pain.

Our hearts are so pure and love so sweet.

I love you more with every heartbeat!

— Elaine Chetty

8. I’m not sure where I got the idea, but I was in love with you before I met you

Your eyes, they speak to me

They’re like the sunrise

So bright and beautiful

I’ve never seen anything like them before

But they’re not just pretty to look at

They have a light inside them that makes me feel warm inside my heart

When I see you, my heart beats faster than ever before, and my knees go weak

My whole body tingles, and all I want to do is be with you forever.

— Unknown

9. I am yours as the summer air at evening is

Possessed by the scent of linden blossoms,

As the snowcap gleams with light

Lent it by the brimming moon.

Without you I’d be an unleafed tree

Blasted in a bleakness with no Spring.

Your love is the weather of my being.

What is an island without the sea?

— Daniel Hoffman

10. Wine comes in at the mouth

And love comes in at the eye;

That's all we shall know for truth

Before we grow old and die.

I lift the glass to my mouth,

I look at you, and I sigh.

— YB Yeats
