Kuch beete pal ki yadden sajaye rakhana
Kuch aanewale pal se arzu lagaye rakhana
Ye pal to yuhi aate jate rahenge
Bas hotonpe apni muskurahat banaya rakhana.

Love is not an exam to pass or fail,
Love is not a competition to win or loss,
But love is a feeling in which you care for someone more than yourself...

If a day had 36 hours i'd spend 12 picking u flowers,
If we had 48 life would surely be great,
And if it was 72, I'd climb a mountain just to tell the world i love you,
But...all we have is 24, Which means i'll keep the message short,
And simply spend every precious hour with you,
Today n forever.
I really love u Amaan from da bottom of my heart.
Plz never ever misunderstand me.
I love u n want 2 spend rest of my life with u.
From
Pari


It is almost here, that special time of year.
When hearts and flowers by the hours are brought to all who seek.
When kisses swirl and words do peak into little puffs of cotton (candy) my sweet.
So be my love and be my own.
Call me on the telephone or send a card, that is not hard, right to my waiting door,
And I'll be yours forever more...
From
Umair


I love you 100 times.
I miss you 2,000 times.
I want to be with you always and forever!!
I love you 1 in a million times of each day.
I want to make you mine.
I love you for you and only.
I mean every word!
I think about you more and more every 24hrs and 7days a week.
My heart bleeds for you.
My tears fall for you cause I'm lonely.
Many times I think of the day that you say those 4 words.
In the days that you are away it's how many times I say
I LOVE YOU AND TRULY WANT U.
I miss you even 365 days of the year.
Sweetie just know that I really, truly & madly love you.
COME HOME SOON

Valentine treasures are people who have often crossed your mind, family, friends and others, too,
who in your life have shined the warmth of love or a spark of light that makes you remember them.
No matter how long since you've actually met,
Each one is a luminous gem who gleams and glows in your memory,
Bringing special pleasures, and that's why this Valentine comes to you.
You're one of those sparkling treasures!

I looked and searched for a different way and to say I love you on Valentine's Day.
Not with the usual poem with a rhyme saying I'm yours till the end of time.
And not just a rose that wilts at day's end or a card with dog-eared edges that bend.

But a special way to make you know how much I need and love you so.
So I looked everywhere but I couldn't find anything special for you Valentine.
Except one thing you've heard and know that the words really live in the love that we show.
So these words are special and you know they're true when I say the words from me to you...
I love you!

Rose – A Beautiful Expression of Love on Valentine's Day

Flowers are a beautiful symbol of expression. They are a true representative of all emotions related to human nature. Thus, flowers are an indispensable gifting idea when it comes any occasion which celebrates our heartfelt emotions. And especially so when the occasion is the one celebrating one of the most alluring feelings among all of human emotions, love. Therefore, it is but natural that flowers have become an integral part of the occasion of Valentine's Day since a long time.

Though there are many varieties of flowers like daisies, irises, daffodils that can be gifted on Valentine's Day. But, the rose wins hand down when it comes to popularity and relevance as far as the occasion goes. The word rose has come from the Latin word rosa meaning red, and the flower has been a symbol of love since ancient times. Rose was supposedly created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers. Rose is a blossom with a sensuous fragrance and delicately yet beautifully crafted petals. The colour of a rose is a silent communication of the feelings that are being conveyed from the receiver to the giver. A bouquet of flowers is a small cluster or arrangement of flowers. People even gift bouquets of different colour blossoms to mark the emotions that dominate an occasion.
  • White - True love, purity of the mind and reverence
  • Pink - Grace, gentle feelings of love
  • Dark Pink - Gratitude
  • Light Pink - Admiration, sympathy
  • Yellow - Friendship, celebration and joy
  • Yellow with red tips - Friendship, falling in love
  • Lilac - Love at first sight and enchantment
  • Red - Love and passion
  • Coral - Desire
  • Peach - Desire and excitement or appreciation
  • Burgundy- Beauty
  • Blue - Mystery
  • Green - Calm
  • Orange - Enthusiasm and desire
  • Purple - Protection
  • Black Roses - "It's Over"
The most popular flower on Valentine's day is the red rose. Reasons for the same are two-fold, one is that the colour red represents love, and all lovers gift each other a red rose irrespective of the occasion. And, Valentine's Day is the day of love, so the natural choice has to be a red rose. The second reason is in relation to the mythological significance of red rose, it is the favorite flower of Venus - the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty and this also makes it the perfect choice to be given to someone you love. This is one flower that has also been popularised as being the symbol of love and romance by poets, writers and philosophers since time immemorial.

Evolution of Valentine's Day With Time

Valentine's Day is the day for celebration of love. Love, a very generic term is relative to any of a number of emotions that speak of affection and attraction. This word can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from faint pleasure to a feeling of strong interpersonal attachment. Valentine's day is also the day of making fresh promises of love and of keeping true to those promises you made at an earlier date.

The aspect of Valentine's day that has held true over the years is its relevance to these various emotions of love. But, there are other facets to the occasion of Valentine's Day that have evolved constantly over time. In the following paragraphs we will discuss some of the relevant aspects of this evolution,

Celebrating Every Relationship
From a day of romance to an occasion that celebrates love in all its forms, that is how Valentine's day has evolved over the years. From gifting tokens of love to girlfriends, wives to boyfriends and husbands this day has now become significant for sending Valentine gifts or tokens of love and affection across relationships. So, be it your wife or sister or mother you can now find this occasion as a reason to express your love for all of them through the various means that have become popular these days.

Commercialization of Valentine's day
From a day that honors love, Valentine's day has evolved into a commercial occasion. From cards and chocolate companies to florists, these days everyone comes into action with the knowledge of Valentine's day being round the corner. It has definitely become associated as being one of the most 'profitable' occasions in a calender year.

From a day honoring a Saint to a day that celebrates love
Valentines day has evolved from a day that honors Saint Valentine to a day that is relevant for the feelings of love, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial love, which is more platonic in nature. In fact this is one celebration that has lost the significant association with its origin. It is thus, that Valentine's day, which always has had a religious basis has evolved over the years into a day that celebrates love in its various forms and degrees.'Why' is now no longer as important as 'How' in terms of celebrating Valentines day.

Valentine's day is one of the most 'adaptable' occasions, it has been accepted and celebrated in variable terms by people over all these years since it has become popular. This is a day which has so many facets to it and that too also since it is an occasion which is so personal in nature. That has resulted in the celebration having taken a different flavor with differences in places, regions and cultures across the world.

How To Say 'I Love You' on Valentine's Day

Since time immemorial, 'Love' has been one of the most thought about and talked about emotions. The reason for the same is simple, we talk the most about those things which we are not able to understand. And, all of us fall short when it comes to understanding love. It is also one of the most complicated of all emotions known to man. Since, we are not able to explain the intricacies of love to ourselves, we stay confused throughout life regarding this aspect of human emotion. Valentines day is yet another occasion when we all love to talk about 'Love', or, when some of us will say 'I Love You'.

Being able to express ones feelings to the people who matter the most in our lives is a task which is not easy for everyone. Some of us are bound to be more expressive than others. Then there are others among us who find it especially difficult to explain their love to the person who needs to know about it before anyone else.

When to Do It
The first thing is to be sure of yourself, do you really love the person to whom you are about to say the three magic words. 'I Love You' is not a phrase to be taken lightly. So, say it when you know that you really mean it from the bottom of your heart.

Right Time and Place
Now that you know that what you are feeling for someone is genuine, the next important step is to decide on the time and place. This Valentines day should remain the most special for the one you love, if your 'to be Valentine' wants to be loved and pampered, or you yourself want the expression to become memorable for life, choose the correct time and place for the proposal. This helps in setting the mood for the occasion and you never know that that might tilt the answer in your favour, if nothing else.

How To Say It
Now that you know that you are well prepared in terms of the time and the venue. The next step is how to go about saying it. The best way to do it is to be as forthright as possible. Say it with flowers, gifts or chocolates or through the written word to add charm to the occasion. Personalised and thoughtfully done Valentine gifts are the best choice when it comes to making this day last in your memories forever.

Be Prepared
It is natural to feel skeptical and more so if you do not know how the other person will react. But, either ways, one should always be strong enough to take any answer in their stride. After all, it always is better to not keep yourself and the other person guessing. Then whatever maybe the result, there will never be any regrets in life.

It is often said 'Better late than never'. So, do it this Valentines day, tell someone that you love them before it is too late or before the whole meaning of it is lost somewhere with time.

Symbolising Romance on Valentines Day

Valentines day or St. Valentines day falls on February 14 every year. This is one of the most awaited days among all occasions that celebrate relationships. Since, this involves one of the most beautiful and intriguing of all human emotions, love. It is because of this fact alone that Valentine's day has mysterious yet alluring undertone to it. There are many things that build up on this fascination that we have with such aspects of love and Valentines day.

Books on Romance
Since forever people have used the written word to describe the feelings of love and romance. This has been put across to the readers through prose and poetry presented through books. Though, these days books are losing its connect with todays' people. But, there are those people who are still in love with reading books. In fact this is one medium which has undergone a lot of change in the recent past also with the introduction of e-books. Books are a beautiful expression of love and thus can be alternately used as the perfect Valentine day gifts for someone who is in love with love and with books.

Romantic Movies
The concept of movies and films was introduced only about a century back but has caught up fast with the audience at large. This is a medium that involves the most important senses in us humans, sight and sound. Movies have the power to transport us to fantasy from reality. The most popular genre among movies is of romance. And the reason for the same is very obvious. After all, people love seeing others on film living the life of love and positivity.

Romantic Music
The basis of all creativity is the range of human emotions. Music too has not lost out on this inspiration. Anyone associated with music, whether a composer or a musician or a singer is a lover at heart. He/She who is an admirer or lover of music associates it with feelings and emotions too. Music is poetry in action, and has always been inspired by the various facets of love as well as the other emotions of human nature. Romantic music makes for a great accompaniment as a Valentines day gift and is responsible for creating the atmosphere in a evening planned around the theme of love.

Couples in Love
Love is in togetherness, it is in companionship and friendship. Couples are symbolic of love since lovers have been universally understood to be in pairs. Thus, everything that is associated with love recognises these aspects in their totality. From Valentines day gifts to all the symbols of love have been created keeping this fact in mind. The love message itself says, 'I Love You' which clearly implies the presence of more than one in a love association.

This was a detailed overview of all those facets of love that associate love with romance. After all, Valentine's day has been primarily known for the romance that is brought to life on this day.

General View on Valentines Day

Every celebration is representative of a past event or an occurrence which may have happened on the 'date' some years, months or days back. The occasion of Valentines Day on February 14 has a similar association with it. It is understood to have originated as a Christian religious festival honoring a Saint. This is another reason for it being referred to by the name of Saint Valentine's Day or St. Valentines Day. Its origins date back to ancient Rome of 270 AD. It was due to the rebellion and sacrifice of a catholic priest with the same name that this day came to be celebrated. Saint Valentine supported lovers or couples in love by getting them married against the wishes of the then Emperor Claudius.

Day of Romance and Fertility
Some other associations with Valentines Day are related to the spring season. The spring season begins around mid February in most parts of the world. Therefore, this is the time when birds (in the European subcontinent where this festival originated) go out and look for their mates. This is the reason that this day has been chosen for its reference to the mating season of birds and to fertility. Another association of Valentines Day is to some fertility festivals of early European era. Ancient Athenians (people of Greek origin) observed February as the month of Gamelion to celebrate the marriage of Greek Gods - Zeus and Hera, ancient Romans (people who lived in the Roman empire, Rome is the capital of the present day Italy) celebrated the Feast of Lupercalia to honor the Roman Gods of fertility - Lupercus and Faunus.

Present Day Context
The present day context of this festival is as a day that honors love, commitment and promises for a life together. And understandably so, since we as a people hanker after those things that are usually lacking in the world around us. This is a major reason for this craze regarding love and romance. Though, there is a rising trend of 'celebrating love in all its forms', this festival mainly retains its initial relevance to romantic love. It is still known more for its affiliation to romance and sensuousness than for any other kind of bond.

Views on Valentines Day Celebrations
There are conflicting views on the celebration of Valentine's Day. Some people still recognise it as a Christian festival. And thus, do not even acknowledge its presence as an event to be marked in a calender year. The people who are critical of Valentines Day have two reasons to back their approach. One is the distinct religious leanings of this celebration. The other is that some people simply find this celebration silly, frivolous and impractical. Then there are those who are not bothered about the origins of this festival and associate it with rediscovering love and romance. It is to this group of Valentine Day lovers that this day owes its popularity to.

Valentine's Day has also undergone a transformation from a quiet, unassuming observance to a loud commercialized affair. There are different takes on this aspect among the world population. Some people celebrate this day with pomp and gaiety whereas others keep it a private affair. This approach to festivities of Valentines Day depends on two factors, one of which is the cultural and familial influences, the other is the age factor. There is an age and stage for these celebrations, but then some people never lose their innocent approach to love and life.

Recreate Romance on Valentines Day

Romance is an ardent emotional attachment or involvement between people. It is a love idealised for its purity and beauty. Valentines Day is a day that speaks of love and romance. It is considered one of the most romantic days of the year.

Valentines Day Colours
Colours are known to have a direct effect in the mood or the atmosphere one wants to create. The colours of choice for a romantic rendezvous are red, blue, white, violet and pink. The colour red defines passion and energy. It also evokes energy and conversation and is a great appetite simulator. Blue and white communicate trust and relaxation and thus evokes a feeling of general calm in the atmosphere.

Violet, the combination of red and blue is understood to represent a general feeling of comfort and ease. Another colour that can be used to create an atmosphere of love and romance is pink. This colour is gentle and soothing and stands for a naïve and innocent form of love. Use the appropriate colour schemes in your wardrobe and your home decor for a magical Valentine's Day.

Aromas That Spell Romance
Valentine candles and perfumes can be used to set the mood of Valentine's Romance. In Valentine candles, light floral scents are considered traditionally romantic. An earthy scent like fresh cut grass or the smell of fresh fruits is also deliciously pleasing. Cinnamon, candy and the aroma of freshly baked cookies are some of the other popular scents used in Valentine candles. The candles should be in earthen colors or calm and pleasing shades that inspire romance.

Aromatic oils and incense to add romance to the occasion. Some romantic aromas or romantic scents such as sandalwood, jasmine, cinnamon and anise can be used to make the atmosphere pleasurable and inviting. Flower petals can be added for that final touch. The things to be most kept in mind is that one should not overdo things, the scents should not be overpowering and should be in keeping with the mood and preferences of both you and your Valentine.

Music and Romance
There is nothing like music to set the mood for a romantic evening. The correct choice of music would make your Valentine feel cherished and special. If it's your first date with that special someone, you would probably want to avoid the classic love songs as you do not want to seem overpowering in your approach.

The music should be in the background playing at a volume that is non-interfering yet audible. The songs or instrumental music should be mid-tempo, slow and soothing but not so much that they appear a drag. With everything planned for an evening of love and romance, the wrong music can spoil the mood and the outcome.

These are some of the essentials that will make your Valentine's Day last in your memories forever. Be thoughtful and creative in your approach yet sensitive to your Valentines' desires and you are sure to recreate romance this Valentines Day.

Muse, bid the moon awake,
Sad winter now declines,
Each bird doth choose a mate,
This day's Saint Valentine's
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Words are Those of a Rural Woman - John Gay
Last Valentine, the day when birds of kind
Their paramours with mutual chirpings find,
I early rose just at the break of day,
before the sun had chased the stars away:
A-field I went, amid the morning dew,
To milk my kine (for so should housewives do).
Thee first I spied - and the first swain we see,
In spite of Fortune shall our true love be.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Valentine
(Tune - Clementine)

Blow a kiss, Blow a kiss,
Blow a kiss, my Valentine.
Blow a kiss, Blow a kiss,
Blow a kiss, My Valentine.

Send a hug (hug self)
Dream of me (Lay head on hand as if sleeping)
Be my Friend (hold hand with another)

A Hug from you

Hug from you, Hug from you.
It's nice to get a hug from you,
So, let's give one right now.

Every thing I do by Bryan Adams
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way
Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Nothing gonna change by Glen MadeirosSend Valentine's Day Songs
If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
And with you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you
*Nothing's gonna change my love for you You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
You'll only change my whole life through
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead a way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Quit playing games with my heart by Backstreet Boys
Even in my heart I see
You're not bein' true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing's like it used to be
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby
Quit playin' games with my heart
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should've known from the start
Before you got into my heart
I live my life the way
To keep you comin' back to me
Everything I do is for you so
So what is it that you can't see
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad
You better quit playin' games with my heart
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should've known from the start
Before you got into my heart
Quit playin' games
Baby, baby the love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hangin' here forever
Oh baby, baby this is not a lie, let's stop
This tonight
Baby, quit playin' games
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
Quit playin' games with my heart
Quit playin' games
Baby, baby the love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hangin' here forever
Oh baby, baby this is not a lie, let's stop
This tonight

The love song of the year
Close your eyes but don't forget
What you have heard
A man who's trying to say three words
The words that make me scared

A million love songs later
And here I am trying to tell you that I care
A million love songs later
And here I am

Looking to the future now
This is what I see
A million chances pass me by
A million chances to hold you
Take me back, take me back

To hide away from all my truth
Through the light I see

A Promise I Make
- Dakota Moon

Girl, you're every breath I take
Oh baby,
Your love rules every move I make
Oh baby,
And I know that you can't read my mind
And baby, maybe I

Don't say it as often as I should
But I really want it to be heard
When I say I love you that's for good
You have my word
That day after day after all
I will always be true
That's a promise I make to you

You, you take this heart of mine
And make it better
I need you to
Come and walk with me through this life
Forever
And I know these words are long over due
And baby, maybe I

Don't say it as often as I should
But I really want it to be heard
When I say I love you that's for good
You have my word
That day after day after all
I will always be true
That's a promise I make to you

I may hold you
I may need you
I may want to
And baby, maybe I

Don't say it as often as I should
But I really want it to be heard
When I say I love you that's for good
You have my word
That day after day after all
I will always be true
That's a promise I make to you

A promise I make to you

The Power of LoveSend Valentine's Day Songs
- Celine Dion

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

(Chorus - 1)
'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

(Chorus - 1)

(Chorus - 2)
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

(Chorus - 1)

(Chorus - 2)

Valentine's Day Love Poems

Valentine's Day Love Poems
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 an ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
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.

Mother's Valentine
My mother made a valentine
So very long ago
And decked it out all prettily
Like for a special beau.

I watched her as she cut the heart
Then frilled it up with lace
And worked artistically away,
A smile upon her face.

She wove a ribbon, shiny red,
Among the lace so white
Then placed a picture of herself
Through a slit she cut inside.

I saw the words, “I love you, Dear,
I'm proud to be your wife
You're given me the blessings
Of a blissful, wedded life.”

I felt like laughing out for joy,
My childish heart was glad!
Mom's special valentine would go
To a special beau named Dad.

Valentine Memories
Grandma's book of valentines
Rekindles memory's flame,
Of days when she was just a girl
And life a happy game.

Each lace-edged card a getting bears
From friends of long ago,
Girls in gingham dresses
And that “special” Sunday beau.

It brings a twinkle to her eye,
Dissolving lines of age,
As we sit in the lamplight
And turn each well worn page.

It makes me kind of wonder
f perhaps some distant day,
A grandchild shall sit at my side
And leaf each page this way.

‘Cause I could sit for hours,
There at my grandma's knee,
And listen to the stories
That the valentines set free.

A book of antique valentines
That reaches black in time
To tell the tales of yesteryear
In illustrated rhyme.

To Celia
Drink to me, only, with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kisse but in the cup,
And Ile not look for wine.
The thirst, that from the soule doth rise,
Doth aske a drink divine:
But might I of Jove's Nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.
I sent thee, late, a rosie wreath,
Not so much honoring thee,
As giving it a hope, that there
It could not withered be.
But thou thereon did'st onely breathe,
And sent'st it back to mee:
Since when it growes, and smells, I sweare,
Not of it selfe, but thee.

One Perfect Rose
A single flow'r he sent me, since we met,
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted pure, with scented dew still wet - -
One perfect rose.

I know the language of the floweret.
“My fragile leaves,” it said, “his heart enclose.”
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.

It's More Than Saying I Love You

We give on this day candy and flowers,
But we never stop to say thank you for the many hours.
You have stood by my side and gave a smile,
As if to tell our hearts it's been worth every mile.
No need to buy a teddy bear or even a card,
It's pretty simple and not at all hard.
Just put your arms around me and hold me tight,
And say without words that in your heart all is right.
You may say I Love You throughout the year,
But on this day you need to make sure.
The words so sweet and straight from your heart,
That your life would be lonely without my part.
So put forth the effort and take the time,
Look me in the eye and say I'm glad you're mine.

To My Husband, My Life, My Eternal Valentine

To My Husband, My Life, My Eternal Valentine
This is to thank you for being by side
For comforting and caring when I was all confused inside.
This is for the phone calls you make every day
Just to tell me “I love you” every minute of the day.

The way you take my hand in yours
For all the world to see
That this is the woman
Who is most special to me.

You always seem to know
When I need a hug, kiss or smile…
You never cease to amaze me
When you say, “I'm here…let's talk for a while.”

In decades past we've had our share
Of ups and downs and problems galore
But you are the one who remained at my side
Never thinking of walking out the door.

I adore the way you tell me,
“You are my forever best friend,”
I love the way I believe in you…
And that you will be there till the end.

Thank you for all the time you give me
And for saying, “It's never enough…”
Thank you for listening as I ramble on…
When things become rather tough.

We are in the best years of our lives
Thirty four years on our journey together
I want to grow old with you…and you with me
I want to love YOU---FOREVER.

Rain or Shine ... Be My Valentine
Raindrops on our dresses,
Sunshine on our face,
No matter what the weather,
The look of love won't be replaced.

The silent sound as rain falls,
The brilliance of the sun.
They only promise radiance,
Caused by either one.

Let it rain, or let it shine,
It won't matter none.
You're such a lovely Valentine,
In either rain, or sun.

Let it snow, let it hail,
Earth blanketed with white.
It won't prevent our day,
Or deny the magic of our night.

My Love

My Love
After so many years of loving you,
After so many things we've been through,
Still I couldn't find the reason,
Tell me why am I in so much love with you?
The day you left me,
My eyes couldn't stop crying.
The day I lost you,
A day didn't go I had pray for dying.
Come back my love,
Someone's still waiting for you.
Come back my love,
Someone will always wait for you.

Are we friends,
Are we not.
You told me once, but I forgot.
So tell me now and tell me true,
So I can say I'm here for you.
And if I die before you do,

I'll give the angels back their wings,
And risk the loss of everything.
Just to prove my friendship is true,
Just to have a friend like you.

You've Touched My Heart
You've given me a reason
For smiling once again,
You've filled my life with peaceful dreams
and you've become my closest friend.

You've shared your heartfelt secrets
And your trust you've given me,
You showed me how to feel again
To laugh, and love, and see.

If life should end tomorrow
And from this world I should part,
I shall be forever young
For you have touched my heart

Just wishing you were here
You will always be near

Never give up hope

All I ask is to be with you
And for you to be my Valentine
For I will always cherish your heart in mine

Love's Philosophy
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdain'd its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea
What are all these kisses worth
If thou kiss not me?

Love!
Love can be red, like the intense heat of a passionate kiss
.....the color of sweetness
.....the color of strawberries
Love can be blue, like the comfort we take in a pair of denim jeans
.....the color of strength
.....the color of perfect skies
Love can be yellow, bright and warm like the morning sun
.....like the sounds of laughters of children on the merry-go-round
.....like the sounds of fun from the boys flying kites in the open
fields
Love can be green, peaceful and serene I can hear your heart beats
.....it is the feeling of a loving hand that touch a grieving heart
.....it is the whispering of trusting words to a distressing soul
Love can be orange, the loudness of it can drive you up a wall
.....it can drive you to sing like nobody is listening
.....it can drive you to dance like nobody is watching
Love can be purple, the courage we need to love bravely and unselfishly
.....the moment I first kiss you i know that i am not afraid to risk involvement .....the day the declaration of your love for me was made known to the world

Origin of Rose as a Valentine's Day Flower
According to popular legends red rose is considered to be a favorite flower of Venus - the Roman mythological Goddess of Love and Beauty. Hence the red Rose came to be associated with love and romance. Historians believe that the tradition of giving red rose on Valentine's Day became popular in the 1700s when Charles II of Sweden introduced the Persian custom of "the language of flowers" to Europe. Books giving details about meanings of particular flowers were published which demonstrated to people how entire conversations could be carried out using just the flowers. Poets and romantics at heart also eulogized red rose as a symbol of love, passion and beauty that helped to create strong association of rose with love and Valentine's Day
