77 Short Love Quotes For Incurable Romantics

Top Ten Short Love Quotes

In this Audrey Hepburn quote, the actress captures the warmth and togetherness of true love. With an economical use of words, she communicates how important relationships are during our time on earth.

2.) I wish I’d done everything on earth with you.

In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald writes that when there’s deep affection shared, partners want to spend every waking moment with their dearest. It’s a tale as old as time.

3.) Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

Robert Frost’s short love saying says a lot in just a few words. It’s not only about being in love, it’s also wanting to be loved by the one you want. It’s almost like one those short love poems, but in this case, it’s only one line.

4.) Grow old along with me; the best is yet to be.

One of Robert Browning’s inspirational love quotes that seem to be a favorite at weddings everywhere you go. It’s easy to see why. The words are a promise from one lover to another. For however good things are now, it will get even better.

5.) Marry someone who laughs at the same things you do.

J.D. Salinger, of Catcher in the Rye fame, gets quickly to the point with these words of love. A shared viewpoint is so important for couples. Seeing things the same way, shared principles and yes, laughing at the same things, makes a relationship go smoothly.

6.) A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

In one of the better, cute love quotes, Ingrid Bergman describes the magic of a kiss. It’s hard to imagine anyone ever improving on this definition.

And here’s Dr. Seuss composing like it’s coming from romantic love letters. When you’re wild about your crush, it’s like you’re walking on air. You can’t wait to see your sweetheart every moment of the day.

9.) Love is a game that two can play and both win.

Eva Gabor, who played a lead role in the TV show Green Acres (“New York is where I’d rather be…), addresses the win-win opportunity of a strong relationship.

10.) I love you right up to the moon — and back.

In the classic children’s book Guess How Much I Love You, author Sam McBratney describes a young hare who is being tucked in by his father. Every time the hare expresses how great his love is for his father, the dad one ups him. Finally, the young hare thinks he’s got it by telling his dad he loves him to the moon. But, as the young hare falls asleep, his father is heard whispering, “I love you right up to the moon – and back.” It’s become one of those sweet love quotes that used on many birthday cards and Facebook greetings.

I Love You Messages, Sayings, Phrases

February 4, 2019 By The Poet

Saying “I love you” in a romantic sense can be a difficult thing to do. You’re exposing yourself. The response may not be positive. There’s a risk. The good news: there are many ways to express your feelings to the one that you love. Sometimes, injecting a little humor helps. And, on this page, we’ve come to your assistance with some ideas.

40 Funny Ways to say “I Love You”

While “there must be 50 ways to leave your lover”; we only came up with 40 funny ways to say, “I love you.” Lucky for you, we made every one count. Hope you enjoy. And, don’t be shy, try a few on for size.

1.) Read between the swines: “I love you.”

It’s always better to have a well-crafted pun that is really beautifully romantic, well-structured prose, right? Just don’t hog all of the good lines for yourself. If pigs don’t work for you, try placing lines of perennials and direct your lover to: “read between the pines.”

2.) You are the crayons to my coloring book.

An interesting I Love You phrase that can be read in many ways on many different levels. For us, it symbolizes the completeness that one person can bring to another. You know, the whole “you complete me” thing.

3.) I’ve fallen for you…and I can’t get up.

This might work best for the senior set, who will remember the old LifeCall medical alarm commercial. “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” was the reoccurring theme. Plus, they’ll understand the nuances of the older you get, “the thrill of the hunt” becomes “the joy of survival.”

4.) I just wanna be your teddy bear. Well, not a soft, squishy teddy bear, but more of a rock hard, six-pack teddy bear.

You get it. When Elvis sings, people listen.

5.) When I look at you, I feel a warmth in my heart. At least I think it’s warmth, I did have a burrito for lunch.

They say, “the stomach is the best way to a man’s heart,”and it’s true. Why? Well, because food is the second thing men are most frequently thinking about.

6.) If I wrote the book of love, you would be my dedication.

Okay, so it’s not very funny, but it is the type of cute I love you saying that goes a long way to showing you care. Sometimes it pays to play the romance card instead of the humor one. Trust me.

7.) Let’s get it on! No really, stop laughing, let’s get it on!

When there’s a fire in the furnace, the feelings intensify. Proceed with caution with this one. Best used in long-term relationships.

8.) Kiss me, I’m crazy about you! Okay, well maybe I’m just crazy.

You have to admit it, we all know someone like this. The guy who occasionally goes out in his underwear to get his mail.

9.) Elizabeth Barrett Browning said, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” Okay, let’s see, one, two, three…er, uh three!

Well, three is better than two.

10.) Your touch makes me quiver,
Your look makes me shiver.
I hope you’re a giver,
Cause I think I can deliver!

Hmmm…a little but like a limerick.

11.) I’d like you to guest star on my Love Boat.

Some of you are probably too young to remember the TV series “The Love Boat.” It was the stories of passengers that found love on the high seas, or at the very least: high jinx!

12.) My feelings for you are a miracle. Not like walking on water, but pretty darn close.

Miracles are a touchy subject, but anybody who can make you feel like a miracle is someone very special.

13.) Has anyone ever told you that you’re hot?
No really, I think you might be coming down with something.
But I love you anyway.
Now seriously, back away.

This could easily be a true story.

14.) Sometimes I think you’re just a dream.
But then I wake up and realize you’re my special nightmare.

Love is strange and sometimes it can seem like you’re in the Twilight Zone, but somehow reality steps in, and you instinctively discover your true soulmate.

15.) I see stars when I look in your eyes.
Or maybe it’s a concussion, hmmm…could be love too.

Nothing can stir up the pangs of love like a good blow to the head.

16.) If I could only have one guest for dinner, it would be you.
Not as the main dish, as a companion of course.

That got awkward really quickly.

17.) I have felt the sting of cupid’s arrow and the pain I feel for you.

Sometimes, love hurts. Yeah, yeah.

18.) I got my glasses checked, and now I believe in love at first sight.
I didn’t recognize you before.

Funny how love can bring a clear picture of the things we really need.

19.) When you frown, my mood is down.
And when you smile, I fly a mile.
When you laugh, my worries are cut in half.
But when you sing, well frankly you’re no Bing.

Reality bites. And, there are just so few of us great singers on this planet.

20.) You are like a cup of tea by the fire.
Warm, and a little bit hot, sparkling too.

For some reason, romance and love always seems to be associated with a nice, bright fire. Perhaps passion is love’s fire log.

21.) I try to think of you all the time.
And when I’m not thinking of you,
I think of ways I could be thinking of you.
And when I’m not thinking of the ways I could be thinking of you,
I get confused and have to start over.

I have a headache.

22.) I don’t know how you do what you do,
but I do know that what you do,
makes me want to do it too.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

23.) A kiss is worth a thousand words.
Here’s my new book…smooch, smooch, smooch!

If only this were true, writing would be so much easier.

24.) I will love you more tomorrow, then I love you today.
And I love you more yesterday, than I did today.
Some people call me “The Love Procrastinator.”

What can I say?

25.) They say you are the sun, the moon, and the stars.
For me, you are the dishes, the laundry, and the stove.
No really, I mean it.

So heartfelt, I have a tear in my eye. And soon, I’ll be sleeping on the couch.

26.) Love is in the air.
Ok, it’s me…sorry.

I had beans for dinner.

It is a fact of life that everyone passes gas at some point. Often, even a well-timed cough can’t cover it up.

27. In my heart is a beautiful feeling for you.
Either that, or I have atrial fibrillation.

“A fib” is a big catch phrase on TV commercials for blood thinners these days.

28.) You pull at my heart strings,
And play my brain like a violin.

Music and romance go hand in hand.

29.) I may have had one too many cocktails.
But in my eyes, you’re a vision!
A vision of what I’m not quite sure.
But a vision none the less.

A little hair of the dog can often cloud true love and sometime make it seem more passionate then it really is.

30.) Be mine with all your heart and soul.
Some nice roses wouldn’t hurt either.

Emotions are all well and good, but some tangible gifts are refreshing.

31.) Let’s be love birds…
And poop on a car.

Okay, maybe I crossed a line here, but you have to admit it is kind of funny.

32.) Dove, glove, above, shove, whereof…hmmm.
A poet struggling for a rhyme for love.
But, you’re worth the struggle. I love you.

Sometimes, writing is just hard.

33.) If I were a flower, I would bloom in your sunshine.
If I were a weed, I would wither in your shadow.

Deep, not really funny, just deep.

34.) I’m so glad I found you…
I was looking for my keys.

For some reason, the phrase “looking for love in all the wrong places” comes to mind.

35.) Love is like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you are going to get,
But there’s always a surprise.

Aw, isn’t that cute? Apologies to Mrs. Gump.

36.) Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote…
“Tis better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.”
No!

Right? No, just no.

37.) There must be a reason I fell in love with you.
For the life of me, I just can’t think of it right now.

How quickly we forget.

38.) Love is everything.
Everything is love.

I don’t know, I was just feeling kind of Zen in the moment.

39.) I love you because you’re perfect.
And believe me, I should know.

Oh yeah, it takes one to know one.

40.) When all else fails, to win a heart, do the dishes!

From the “actions-speak-louder-than-words-camp,” fall back on a proven winner.

With you, it’s always been different. Let me tell you why…

The first time I saw you, my heart whispered, “She’s the one!”

2.) Look Back at Love Letters from the Past

Where does one seek inspiration when writing a Valentine’s Day card message to their sweetheart?

Many have looked to the past. We’re all familiar with the classic:

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Sugar is Sweet,
And so are You.

This was inspired by a book written in 1590 by Sir Edmund Spenser called The Faerie Queene.

The Faerie Queene

Spenser wrote:

“It was upon a Sommers shynie day,

When Titan faire his beames did display,

In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew,

She bath’d her brest, the boyling heat t’allay;

She bath’d with roses red, and violets blew,

And all the sweetest flowers, that in the forrest grew.”

Adapting and modifying well-written words is certainly a direction to consider. Keep in mind that messages have greater meaning to recipients when they’re personalized. Sure, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel completely. But, try to customize the message so your Valentine knows that the words were chosen with care. Your Valentine’s greeting should be memorable.

Another technique that some writers use is to write down words – nouns, adjectives and verbs – that come to mind when thinking about their cherished one. The first part of the exercise calls for the writer to move quickly and not spend time editing – just quickly write down the words that come to mind.

The second part of this technique entails a more thoughtful approach of experimenting with the various combinations of the words written down to try to formulate sentences to express your feelings. Start wide with a lot of words and then narrow down to the choicest words to express your sentiments.

3.) Write Similes

Another romantic love writing approach is to consider using a simile. Bruce Lee once wrote, “Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”

Or, maybe something like this, “Love is like the wind; you can’t see it, but you can feel it all over.” What comparisons can you make? Any personalized touches will go a long way.

Coming up with just the right words can be tricky. We try to make it easy for folks on our Valentine’s Day page at GreetingCardPoet.com. Here’s just a sampling of some of the selections that you can draw inspiration from.

4.) Use Love Metaphors

A metaphor is a figure of speech is applied to an object which is typically not considered applicable.

Examples:

Love is friendship that has caught fire.
Ann Landers

Love is a spice with many tastes—a dizzying array of textures and moments.
Newman from the final episode of Seinfeld

Love is fire, if it once goes out, is hard to kindle.
German Proverb

Love is our true destiny.
Thomas Merton

Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring.
Johnny Cash

I thought love would be my cure, but now it’s my disease.
Alicia Keyes, “Love is My Disease” (Singer, pianist, and Grammy’s host)

5.) Examine Valentine’s Day Greetings from Cards

Look to Valentine’s Day cards for inspiration.

Here are some examples:

So many of my smiles begin with you.
Thank you for all the countless, caring ways you’ve filled my life with love.
Thank you for being a constant source of laughter and love, strength and support.
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing with you. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Will you be my valentine, this year and every year?
Wishing you a day filled with happiness because you’ve filled my life with love.
Words cannot express how much I appreciate you for bringing a spark of excitement, a touch of tenderness, the light of love to every day of my life.
You + Me = Perfect.
You amaze me with your strength, your kindness and your beauty. I will always love you.
You bring so many wonderful things into my life. Your love makes me feel so alive! Happy Valentine’s Day to the most (beautiful woman/handsome man) in the world!

6.) Incorporate Valentine Quotes

Adding a Happy Valentine’s Day quote might help jumpstart your note.

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.
Charles M. Schulz

Some people care too much, I think it’s called love.
Winnie the Pooh

A heaven on earth I have won by wooing thee.
William Shakespeare

Love is being stupid together.
Paul Valery

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Robert Frost

What to write on Valentine’s Day Cards Summary

So, when you’re looking for what to write on Valentine’s Day cards, don’t panic. Be yourself. Don’t be afraid to inject some humor, but balance it with some sincere expressions of your affection.

It’s ok to go long – when you’re telling some one how much you love them, more is better than less. And, while the written communication is a critical part of the day, it’s not the only thing. Plan the day, the activities and the experience. Happy Valentine’s Day!
