Fourteen ways to say I love you:

You are the only Valentine heart I need

I’ve made you dinner

I put on your favorite music

I love how you pick me up when I’m down

I’m smiling because you’re smiling

Your laughter always gets to me

You are the best snuggler

You are the smartest woman I know

Your eyes always shines

I love how you kiss me

Your hands are always warm against mine

I love the sound of your voice

I love how you make me feel complete

Without you, where would I be, but lost.

Expressing love every day should be the thing, but once a year will do

with heart-shaped gifts or flowers (though chocolates are good, too);

my preference is stuffed animals, I’ve got 14 on my bed

jewelry is nice, it’s true, (but I’d like Elmo instead).

Unexpected Valentine’s Day calls to and from family

warm everybody’s heart and are always a treat.

Taking a walk by our favorite lake, hand and hand we go

regardless of the weather, rain, sleet or snow;

dinner with my loved one is the best thing for me

out or in matters not, I’m easy to please.

Cuddling under a blanket to watch a movie, falling asleep by nine

or dressed to kill and going out to our favorite place for wine;

kisses are always good, but especially on this day

of course, the words ‘I love you’ are important to say.

A special card that says it all in ways we frequently forget

reminds us both every year how glad we are we met.

and that fluttery feeling

When love is the headline,

There is no need to underline,

There is nothing clandestine,

This Valentine!

A messenger dove,

With a message of love,

A word from the heart,

Engraved on a card,

A gift,

So deft with a craft,

Ribbons and rhinestones,

With milestones,

In satin and lace,

In an antique case,

Lyrics, song and music,

Creating magic,

Roses and chocolates,

With lots of accolades!

For if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be me.

Openly I admit, I wouldn't have made it without you.

Universally we are insignificant, but you make me feel like the center of yours.

Routinely I forget to tell you that you are the center of mine.

Tangentially, I just wanted to say that I am sorry.

Earnestly, I did not mean to make you feel that way.

Emotions are like waves, they can carry you safetly to shore or pull you under.

No one ever taught me how to navigate this sea.

Together we are more than the sum of our parts.

How did we make something so precious from nothing?

I think I got very lucky,

Never have I ever felt so complete.

Good things sometimes do come to those who wait,

Suddenly, you were there for me forever. ♡∞

I love your strength and that you never give up

I love your quietness on a busy day

I love how we have done it all together for the last 22 years

I love your beautiful eyes

I love your strong hands

I love our life that we have created

I love how our children are a perfect combination of the two of us

I love how you hold my heart in the palm of your hand

I love that you think of me

I love that you are there in my times of sorrow

I love that you believe in me

I love your arms wrapped around me so I feel safe

I love that I have your heart

I love that my future is you.

When I think of love I think of you!

You are all 4 letters combined into one beautiful word

14 is never enough...

1. I love the heart so awesomely red

2. The lobster on my plate that’s dead.

3. The card you gave me set the tone,

4. Sitting together but still alone.

5. A chocolate covered cherry, sweet

6. A foot massage as you rub my feet.

7. A daisy is a girls’ best friend.

8. “He loves me petal” at the end!

9. Candlelight where I simply glow

10. Jewelry for me, oh, I don’t know

11. You’re being nice, one day of the year

12. Champagne? Don’t mind, thank you dear!

13. Romantic music our favorite song.

14. This day at least, we’ll get along.

We celebrated so I can say

What I like about Valentine’s Day

One stripe of red, along my arm, or is it your arm, I can’t tell anymore...

I love you so much, too much.

One stripe of orange,

you always loved oranges.*

And people with ginger hair.

I never had ginger hair.

Yellow is the color of your shirt you wore

the day you said three words

three words.

I

on Valentine’s Day 2015.

Love

I always thought it was corny to

You

ask someone out on Valentine’s Day.

That was the first time I

had a date on Valentine’s Day.

You.

Green is your eyes.

I always loved your eyes, they shone when you were sad,

but also when you were happy.*

Blue is the color you wished your eyes were.

I never wished that.

Violet was the name

of the girl who broke you.

Why did she have to break you?

Why couldn’t it have been me

on that day?

You were never the same.

Purple were the bruises around your eyes.

Those were contagious.

I caught the purple bruises after

sleepless nights.

Pink is the flush in your cheeks

I remember you always hated winter, even though I loved it,* so I would go out, and

you would bundle up to go outside, even when it

was for only two seconds.

Then you’d wear your jacket for the rest of the day.

A stripe of black for

What those mean kids called you,

because they were too ignorant to see

that you were Hispanic.

White is the color you wished you were,

because you didn’t want them to talk

I loved your skin,*

I never wanted you to rub bleach on your cuts until the skin on your arms

looked like sheets, like sheet music.

Violins. You could play the violin, the flute, and the piano.

I love your voice.*

You got kicked out of choir because you

stole a box of conversation hearts for me,

but you could sing.

You could sing.

I loved your hair, how it twisted around my fingers as if it knew me.*

It probably did that for everyone though, not just me.

I loved your lips when they were against mine.*

And I loved your wrists.* You always had small wrists.

You used to joke about how the police would never be able to arrest you,

because the handcuffs wouldn’t fit.

I loved your jokes.*

They always seemed funny to me, even when no one else laughed.

When just the two of us laughed, it felt like

An inside joke that I’ve always wanted to be a part of.

Your laugh was the only one I heard after I told a joke,

but maybe that's because I loved it,*

even when you thought it was awkward.

I loved the curl of your fingers around my skin, even when,

Your nails dug into my palm and your knuckles turned white from anxiety,

But I still loved your fingers around mine.*

I love Valentine’s Day because it’s the day I met you.*

I remember the way you’d hug me, and it felt so intimate yet

Not too intimate*

I remember your soft skin,

Your bleached white scars.

I remember you, and I love you.*

The smell of roses fills the air

couples dancing everywhere.

love and joy fills up the room,

this day will be over soon.

But the love we share will never die,

I will tell you why...

1. The song of the birds in the morning, fills my heart with joy

2. The breakfast in bed, spilling cold coffee over my bed

3. The smell of freshly baked bread

4. The look you give, as i walk down the stairs

5. The love in your eyes, as i rest my sleepy head

6. The sound of our song, playing through the speaker

7. Despite our fights, our love doesn’t get weaker

8. Our first kiss, a moment in time

9. Our first dance, as your hand holds mine

10. Our first child, a moment in time

11. Our first fight, as your hand leaves mine

12. Our first night apart, and i think to myself

13. Is this what love is?

14. Maybe it’s not

Love is special, love is kind, I hope one day that’s what i will find.
