My loves. I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.
You are mine, you are mine, you are mine. I have never loved anyone as I love you.
I can't help it. I'm a slave to my love for you.
Sometimes I wish I had never met you. Because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there.
I wish I could have found the words to say I would rather be with you than anyone else in the world.
I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
I'm not sure about anything. But I know I love you.
I didn't want to kiss you goodbye—that was the trouble—I wanted to kiss you goodnight.
I couldn't help myself. I was just drawn to you.
I would rather have a life of you than a life without you.
I could never regret anything that made me feel love.
I would rather be with you than anyone else in the world.
