Love Quotes For Valentine’s Day

Sometimes the maxim “actions speak louder than voice” is true, but it should not always be true. In a relationship, one will need an assurance by word.

So, on Valentine’s Day, lovers should not forget saying something nice to a person he or she loves.

• You are the love of my life
• You are my only true love
• I cannot live without you
