On Valentine's day, some entries for a competition to find a couplet with the most romantic first line and most unromantic second line: (13)

I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother

I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag off of your face

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life

My love, you take my breath away
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

I see your face when I am dreaming
That's why I always wake up screaming.
