One of the best ways to express how you feel about somebody is through words.

Many people write to me, asking how they can convey to their intended partner, just how much that person means in their life. They ask me for suggestions on what they can buy, or where they can take their beloved to impress them. Well, the old saying still holds true today, "you can’t buy love".

So what can a person do then to express their love for someone?

A special love poem penned by you or somebody else, tender quotations or sentiments of love are just a few ways to communicate your thoughts to your beloved. With a love letter you can tell your loved one precisely how you feel with words from your heart!

• When I’m in your arms my whole world is just right.
• You give me that first-crush feeling, but this love is all the way grown-up.
• Some things are just meant to be… Like you being born… Me finding you…The two of us happy in this crazy, amazing love…My heart’s in the right place… with you!
• Kisses are the language of love. Want to indulge in a little conversation?
• I love the way you love me, and I you–mind, body and soul.
• Although I don’t always tell you in so many words… I love you in so many ways.
