Message to a girl in English. Beautiful quotes and phrases about love in English with translation

Love is a seemingly simple word, but how much happiness, magic and at the same time tragedy it contains. Each of us at least once in our lives has encountered this incomprehensible, unusual, and sometimes even frightening feeling.

One thing remains indisputable: under the power of love, the most daring actions are performed, the loudest words are uttered. After all, how, if not with words, can you express your feelings? Actions and gifts are, of course, good, but words have a completely different effect on people. That is why at all times it was considered the most romantic act to dedicate poetry, a song or even an ode to a beloved or lover.

My beautiful love, you are my sunrise and sunset. You are my world and you have been since the first time I saw you from afar. My heart leaped in my chest and the vision of you made me catch my breath. Your hair was lightly blowing in the breeze, and the sun was bouncing off your face, making your eyes sparkle like stars in the midnight sky. I felt love the first time I looked at you, and my world became a beautiful place to live in. I often ask myself, what in the world would I do without you now? I hope to never find out the answer to that question.

I often ask myself: what would I do without you? I hope I never find the answer to this question.

I loveyousomuch, andyoudon'tevenknowit. Sometimes I get scared about showing it. It feels like when you come around me, my mouth locks tight, and the words I want to say are just stifled. My lips lock up because my love is so strong, and the words that I want to say just can’t be expressed. Sometimes I want to open up and tell you how I feel, but I guess I’m just too scared. I know you love me, and you have feelings hidden inside, too. It seems like it isn’t any easier for you to ex press yourself to me, than for me to express myself to you. I love you, so please know that I always will.

I love you so much that you can't even imagine. Sometimes I'm afraid to show it. When you are near, my tongue does not listen to me, and the words get stuck in my throat. My lips do not allow me to say anything, because my love is so strong and my feelings are inexpressible in words. Sometimes I want to open up and say how I feel, but I guess I'm just afraid. I know you love me and you have feelings for me. It seems that you have no easier time expressing them than I do. I love you and will always love you.

I know you’ll find it hard to believe me if I tell you how much you mean to me. I've never felt like this before. I don’t know how to pour out my feelings for you now. I want to find the perfect words to make you realize how much I need you and love you. But every time I look at you, the words come out the same - I love you!

I know you won't believe how much you mean to me. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I don't know how to express my feelings for you. I want to find the perfect words so that you understand how much I need you and how much I love you. But every time I look at you, the words are always the same: I love you!

My love is only for you. When I met you, my heart shook. I haven't been able to escape you. I will hold you all my life, it’s my promise. I want to show you how very big my love is for you - everyday, every time, all my life. I loveyou!

My love is only for you. When I met you, my heart sank. I was never able to escape your charms. I will take care of you all my life, I promise. I want to show you how strong my love is for you - every day, always and all my life. I love you!

There are no words that I can speak, no song that I can sing, and no gesture that I can show, to prove my love for you, for the love I have for you has no definition. How can I describe the sheer joy I feel with the very thought of you? How simply hearing your voice causes my heart to beat faster and my smile to widen. How can just one person give me so much hope for a future? I have always dreamed of. You have opened my heart and awakened my soul. You are my one and only true love. That is how I know that our love is everlasting.

There are no words, no songs or gestures that could help me prove my love for you. Because my love cannot be defined. How can I describe the joy I feel when I think about you?

You opened/opened my heart and awakened/awakened my soul. You are my only love. So I know that our love is eternal.

Good luck! Be happy, loved and in love!
