An Example and Ideas

"Six billion humans,
Only one baby.

Seven thousand tigers,
Only one tigress (my nickname).

You're the one,
and you mean the world to me.

I love you so much, Amanda.

Aaron"

Such was the love note inscribed inside my *homemade* Valentine's Day card this year, along with a slew of gifts to spoil me.

I'd have to argue against couples in love being "oblivious" to the world (at least after the first few months).

I still think it is important to write your sweetie poems and such, no matter what stage you are in your relationship.

It shows that you are thoughtful, caring, and creative, and satisfies a need of love in all of us.

As a natural writer, my suggestions for those who struggle with this is to foremost realize it only takes a few kind words from the heart to melt a girl.

And girls, guys like being recognized, too, via affectionate E-mails, text messages, and letters.

...Just don't make them over-the-top mushy or too frequent.

It's fun to rhyme when coming up with a love poem for your dear. Just let it flow, and don't be afraid of making obscure sentences or including inside jokes.

Hide your love letters in obscure places.
