Love is a beautiful thing. According to Plato, "At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." But sometimes it's hard to find the words to describe that feeling of love. Whether you're in the throes of a blossoming romance, or trying to let your spouse know how much they mean to you - some of the most beautiful words already written will capture exactly what you want to say.

According to Helen Keller, the best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.
