- Most love stories begin with a hello, ours began with a ransacked lunchbox, a stolen spork, and a touch of pyromania.
- I didn’t know who else to tell. I’m sorry it had to be you.
- Today, I paid a psychic $10 to tell me that we would end up together. I know you’d say it’s a waste of money, but it tickled as she traced a finger across my love line—our love line. I just needed someone to tell me that we were the definition of fate.
- It hurts to love someone so much, yet so quietly. Can we please promise to love each other loudly?
- I wish I had a time machine, so that I could visit you as a child. I want to listen to you whistle off-key melodies through your baby teeth and watch as you psychotically arrange your stuffed animals in an exorcist-like circle.
- I think I love you too much to ever say it aloud, so I’ll wrinkle my nose and say I hate you instead. And we will communicate in the way that lovers and enemies do.
- Your body slides into mine—a lock clicking into place. Our bodies fit together perfectly as if we were puzzle pieces in a past life. I think you’d definitely be an edge piece, would I be a corner?
- Only you could convince me to watch a game of basketball.
- Sorry I was too chicken to tell you all this in person. I probably would’ve blushed too hard and tumbled over my words, crumbled into a tangled heap of “I love you more than words can describe.” And I wanted this to be perfect, for you.
- I downloaded Duolingo today. I wanted to become fluent in all the love languages, so that I could love you in all the ways you wanted—needed—to be loved, only to find out that damn green bird doesn’t offer them.
- I want to shrink you and pop you in my pocket, so that I can take you with me everywhere. But I think that’d be selfish of me—depriving the world of you.
- Thank you for giving me the privilege of loving you.
- With all my love,
