Figuring out what to write in that Valentine's Day card—or, fine, text message, if that’s more your speed—is *almost* as difficult as making a last-minute dinner res for the big day. (Although, if you haven’t done that yet, a more creative approach to your Valentine’s Day date night might be in order.) So we’ve obviously turned to the pros to help ya out. We looked to the greatest love stories of all time (*cough* The Notebook *cough*), plus super-romantic songs, poems, and more, to pull some super-romantic words you can send to a new crush, longtime lover, or hey, even a best friend. Whether you’re looking to let someone know they’re your one and only, your soul mate, your lobster…orrrrr you’re just trying to find the right thing to say to that person you’ve gone on six dates with or your current situationship, we’ve got you covered with some truly great quotes.
Scroll through and see what speaks to you and your current ~lovah~ and pick out the one (or a few!) that you know will make your SO’s heart flutter.

These 47 quotes will help get your card signed, sealed, and delivered just in the nick of time so you can focus on the really important stuff, like sampling holiday chocolates. Did you just win Valentine’s Day? I think you just won Valentine's Day.
