At the beginning of the year I bought a daily calendar entitled "I Love You Every Day" in an attempt to keep me motivated until I got to see my boyfriend sporadically throughout the year. As you can imagine it has a love quote for every day of the year (some of them were not so much about being in love as about being unhappy because of it, which I found strange. I threw those one's out.) There were a few I saved, however, and my favourites and these:
