Are you sending an ecard or making a homemade Valentine’s Day card this year? Do you need some help with what to say? I’ve compiled a few phrases that you can have for your sweet Valentine. I hope one of them strikes you as just what you wanted to say! Enjoy! (The (O) stands for outside of the card and the (I) stands for the inside).

(O) You are a mystery

(I) Even though we’ve been together for so long
You have always been able to turn and reveal another facet,
another movement,
another song.

And in that moment, I am caught . . .
falling in love
all over again.
Happy Valentine’s Day Sweetheart

(O)You amaze me . . .

(I)You amaze me with your strength
You amaze me with your touch
You amaze me with your giving in my desolate places
You are my love song

I am so lucky to have you.
Happy Valentine’s Day

(O)True love is . . .

(I) Taking out the trash
Offering to “baby-sit” the kids
Giving me a day off
With extra cash to spend
Taking me dancing
When you have two left feet
Watching chic-flicks
And pretending they’re sweet.
Loving my jokes
Calming my fears
Saying I’m beautiful
During the chubbier years
Holding hands
Holding my tears in your hands

You are the best husband ever
Happy Valentine’s Day my love, my friend

(O)The clock keeps ticking
So fast now that in our busy lives blur, I worry
I haven’t stopped to tell you . . .

(I)  I still can’t keep my eyes off you

O)You

(I) I walked into a room long ago and saw you
The rest faded away in the place of you
I courted you
I married you
I built a life with you
Now, I can’t imagine a me without you

Happy Valentine’s Day to my other half!

(O)We used to dance and gaze into the other’s eyes
We used to talk for hours at a time until the sun would rise
But you don’t stop and stare at me anymore
You eyes no longer light up when I walk in the door
We’ve fought instead
Over the things we thought we knew and understood

(I) But I want you to know that eventhough
This flame is so low
A glowing ember, a tiny coal
That I miss your soul
One with mine
That I want you back
Thinking and laughing and talking and feeling
And believing
Let’s believe in us again

(O)Our future is still discovery

(I) As deep as any ocean
As vast as outer space
As rocking as a concert
As hot as our next date
As long as any road
Stretching clear across this earth
We have so much to do
Just me and you

I can’t wait to live our future together.

Happy Valentine’s Day – my love, my life.

(O)You Shine

(I) When you walk into a room my breath still catches
When you walk into my day everything changes
You light up my heart.

Happy Valentine’s Day to the light of my life.

(O)You think I don’t see
the dinners you make
the laundry you wash
the quiet prayers you pray
for me in the dark hours of my life.

You think I don’t notice the million ways
you live your love – so apart of you that they are you.

(I) But I do
Your quiet presence
Speaks so loud into my heart

Happy Valentine’s Day, dearest love of my life!

(O)Some days feel so dark and alone
like all our dreams are flattened to the ground
hovering wings beating at me
driving their way into my hope.
Voices whisper it’s all a lie
it ain’t no use to try
don’t even try.

(I) Then I look up
and you’re standing there
with a hand stretched out to lift me up,
with a nodding smile to fill my hope,
with a warm embrace that makes me right again.

You are the person in my life who gives me back my hope!

I can’t imagine a Valentine’s Day without you. I will always love you.

(O)You asked if I’d marry you
So long ago
Before I knew all the highs and lows a marriage could bring
I said yes . . .

(I) I want you to know
That now
When I have the advantage of hindsight
When I know the pain we’ll both cause one another
And the joys we’ll share as only two becoming one can share
That I would say yes all over again

It hasn’t always been easy
Our happily ever after
But I can’t imagine sharing each minute of my life
With anyone but you
You truly complete me
Happy Valentine’s Day my beloved.
