More Widely Known:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. – Elizabeth Barrett Browning

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite. – William Shakespeare – Romeo and Juliet

Love conquers all, and let us yield to it. ¬óOmnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori – Publius Vergilius

More:

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:
where I does not exist nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. – Pablo Naruda – “Love Sonnet XVII”

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

I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you. – Roy Croft

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. – Robert Heinlein

Love does not dominate; it cultivates. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. – I Corinthians 13:4-7

And a Couple of Poems:

Eros

The sense of the world is short,
Long and various the report,
To Love and be beloved;
Men and gods have not outlearned it,
And how oft soe’er they’ve turned it,
‘Tis not to be improved. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) – e.e. cummings

I hope these help you with your project. Happy Valentine’s Day!
