It's the way you say I love you and the way you hold my hand.
There's just so much about you I completely understand.
It's the twinkle in your eye that I only see when you look at me.
It's the warmth of your hands; it sends a shock straight to my feet.
It's how you always amaze me, you surprise me all day long.
This I know is true.
Baby, I'm in love with you! - Meagan D. Murdoch
I love you for a lifetime,
Not only for a day.
I love you for who you are,
Not what you do or say.

So there is only one thing I can say.
I love you with my heart and soul and every other way,
So will you be my valentine not only for one day? - Belinda Gaela

With everything you do and say.

Conceived in your heart,
Born in your eyes,
Live on your cheek,
And die on your lips. - Julie Cognato

For love comes along
For only so long."

Wings to fly,
Roots to come back,
And reasons to stay. – Dalai Lama
In case you ever
Foolishly forget:
I am never
Not thinking of you. – Virginia Woolf
When you come to me, unbidden,
Beckoning me
To long-ago rooms,
Where memories lie.

Offering me, as to a child, an attic,
Gatherings of days too few.
Baubles of stolen kisses.
Trinkets of borrowed loves.
Trunks of secret words,

I cry. – Maya Angelou

Before I knew;

Been mine too. – Lang Leav

To people near and far,
This one I’m sending right to you
To say how nice you are.

Round and round,
Love goes up,
And love comes down,
Love is on the inside,
Trying to get out,
Love is whirling and twirling about!
This is my hand.
My hand will do
A thousand loving things for you.
And you will remember,
When I am tall,
That once my hand was just this small
Happy Valentines Day!

For Husband

Whether you’re looking for a short and sweet love poem or something more romantic and detailed, here are some Valentine’s Day verses for husbands that will help you express your feelings.

In a lifetime love is a treasure
And life with you my dear is always such a pleasure
You are so thoughtful each and every day
I never thought life could ever be this way.

So on this Valentines day I do express
You are the best, much better than all the rest.
Thank you my dear for all the things you do
My heart is sincere when I say: I love you. – Catherine Pulsifer
The way you give me
That come-to-bed gaze.
The way you touch me.
You set me ablaze.
You’ve always had it.
That wonderful touch.
And I just want to tell you
I still love you so much.
I love you more than words can say,
I love you more each passing day.
You're my life, you're my best friend,
My love to you won't ever end.
At times we’re together,
Not knowing what to say,
All we do is hold hands,
Then our love lights the way.

There are instances we argue,
But time’s granted to ponder,
Then we work things out,
It makes our love stronger.
You’ll always be in my heart
Can’t bear the pain when we are apart
Nobody is as special as you are to me
I hope you are beginning to see
I can’t describe how much I care
But when you need me I’ll be there
To wipe those tears when you are sad
To make you happy when you are mad
All these things I can really do
Just remember I’m thinking of you!
I love you more than a wasp can sting,
And more than the subway jerks,
I love you as much as a beggar needs a crutch,
And more than a hangnail irks.

I swear to you by the stars above,
And below, if such there be,
As the High Court loathes perjurious oaths,
That’s how you’re loved by me. – Ogden Nash
Happy Valentine’s Day, my one and only.

My heart is yours, and yours alone,
I hope we’ll never be apart, not even for a moment.

In their purity,
Be a present symbol
Of my love for thee.

Underneath the blossom
Thorns are sure to grow;
Take heed lest you touch them,
They would pain you so!

Hidden 'neath the flower
Of my love for thee? – Robert Argyle Campbell

The love of my life,

Or dealing with strife,
To you is where I always go.

You bring me laughter,
when I only feel pain.

I don’t think you could ever know
just how truly special you are,
that even on the darkest nights
you are my brightest star.
Two souls but with
A single thought;
Two hearts that beat
As one. – John Keats

Are the things I love about you the most.

you were there to brush them away.
When I was lost in confusion,
you were there to say that everything would be okay.

you were there to take my hand.
When no one else was left to care,
you were there. - Emily Robinson

Someone just like you.

One of the chosen few! - Jacklyn N. Hayes
