When you’re starting a new relationship, it can be difficult to put into words just how you feel about your new love.
The feelings of infatuation, excitement, and anticipation make all aspects of your life seem brighter and happier.
But when you’re newly in love, it’s hard to articulate exactly what you’re feeling because you’re so overwhelmed with emotions.
Fortunately, millions of others have been where you are now, and many of them have succeeded in putting their most powerful thoughts about new relationships into words.
Now all you have to do is look them over and make your own copies of the ones that resonate most strongly with you or your significant other.
Those are the ones that will mean the most when you share them. And maybe you’ll want to share a few with the new love in your life!
