Go through them to find the one that best suits your romantic situation. Several examples can inspire you:
Hidden love, extract from the collection My wasted hours, Felix Arvers (1833)
"My soul has its secret, my life has its mystery,
Eternal love in a conceived moment:
Evil is hopeless, so I had to shut it up
And whoever did it never knew.
Alas! I will have passed near her unnoticed,
Always by his side, yet lonely.
And I will have done my time on earth until the end,
Not daring to ask for anything and having received nothing.
For her, though God made her sweet and tender,
She follows her path, distracted and without hearing
This murmur of love raised in his footsteps.
To austere duty, piously faithful,
She will say, reading these verses all filled with her
"So who is this woman?" And will not understand. "
Forever, extract from the collection The red notebook François Coppé (1892)
"The divine hope that two we manage to form
And that two we share,
The hope to love long, to love always, to love
Every day more;
Eternal desire, chimerical and touching,
That lovers sigh,
At the adorable moment when, while searching for each other,
Their lips breathe;
This disappointing desire, this dear deceptive hope,
We never spoke of it;
And it hurts to see that we're afraid of it,
Although it is in our souls.
When I whisper to you, questioned lover,
A sweet answer,
This is the word: – Forever! – on the lips that I have,
Without my pronouncing it;
And though a dear echo says it in your heart,
Your silence is the same
While on your breast, dying of languor,
I swear I love you.
What does the past matter? What does the future matter?
The best thing,
It's believing that it should never end,
The illusion of an hour.
And when I tell you: – Forever! – do not do anything
Who dispels this dream,
And that more tenderly your kiss on mine
Lean and extend! "
See each other as much as possible, extract from the collection New poems, Alfred de Musset (1850)
"See each other as much as possible and only love each other,
Without cunning and without detours, without shame or lies,
Without a desire deceiving us, or remorse gnawing at us,
Live together and give your heart at all times;
Respect his thought as far as we dive into it,
Make her love a day instead of a dream,
And in this clarity breathe freely
Thus Laure breathed and sang her lover.
You whose every step touches supreme grace,
It's you, your head in bloom, that you would think was carefree,
It was you who told me that you have to love like this.
And it's me, old child of doubt and blasphemy,
Who listens to you, and thinks, and answers you this:
Yes, we live differently, but that's how we love. "
