You have the greatest soul, the noblest nature, the sweetest, most loving heart I have ever known, and my love, my reverence, my admiration for you, you have increased in one evening as I should have thought only a lifetime of intimate, loving association could have increased them. You are more wonderful and lovely in my eyes than you ever were before; and my pride and joy and gratitude that you should love me with such a perfect love are beyond all expression, except in some great poem which I cannot write.

It is quite true that you have had infinitely more influence on me intellectually than anyone, and for this alone I love you.

I love you much
most beautiful darling
more than anyone on the earth
and I like you better
than everything in the sky.

I loved you ere I knew you: know you now,
And, having known you, love you better still.

I loved you when I saw you today and I loved you always but I never saw you before.

You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known — and even that is an understatement.

Your magnificence has made me a wonder. Your charm has taught me the way of love.

Never once since I met you have I been bored; never once have I not wanted you. And never once, even for a moment, have I not loved you with all my heart.

You were made perfectly to be loved and surely I have loved you in the idea of you my whole life long.

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.

You are the loveliest thing that I have ever known.

You are like nobody since I love you.

I think you’re beautiful, the only beautiful person I’ve ever seen. I love your voice and everything to do with you, down to your clothes or the room you are sitting in. I adore you.

I have never been so inspired and full of love as I am today. With style and full force, you have entered this world and forever impacted my destiny.
