Depends on who to. Is it a general “I LOVE YOU, WORLD!!” announcement, or a “I want to cuddle up to you _bad_, smoochy puppy-kins!” kinda thing? ---

Materials needed: Valentine card, store bought or home made Lemon Juice or Vinegar Thin Paint brush (like from a watercolor set) Method: 1. Paint “It’s no secret, Valentine… I love you!” or something else… On inside of card with lemon juice or vinegar. 2. Sign name with regular pen, or if you wanna be fancy, a calligraphy pen. 3. Present to your sweetie. After he/she gives you a 😕 look, hold card to lightbulb and let it’s heat turn your secret message color! Oh, you think it’s lame, do ya!? Well, I didn’t make it up. I got the idea from [HGTV.com](http://HGTV.com). ---

It’s much better if you write it yourself. It gives it the personal touch and makes it much more meaningful. ---

I, also, am looking for help locating a nice Valentine’s - ish verse to use this year. In good faith I will gift to you the one’s I’ve used in the last two years: “She walks in beauty like the night, of cloudless climes, and starry skies, and all that’s best of dark and bright, meet in her aspect, and her eyes.” Lord Byron also; “She is mine own, And I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearls, the water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.” William Shakespear I’m running out of time and I got nothing here. Help ! ---

Your eyes sparkle like the morning dew, wanna screw? We go together like Gates and a buck, wanna f\*ck? Of all the world’s wimmins you is my homie, wanna blow me? Life without you would be a drag, wanna shag? Feel free to use these verses in any combination. They’re modular. ---

Howzabout this: “Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine, Or leave a kiss but in the cup And I’ll not look for wine. . . .” —Ben Jonson, “To Celia” It goes on in similar syrupy style. Google should get you the rest. ---

And so you see I have come to doubt all that I once held as true. I stand alone without beliefs, the only truth I know is you. And as I watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die, I know that I am like the rain, there but for the grace of you go I. -Simon probably best sung
