Ok, you may resist honoring “prefabricated” dates that force you to buy gifts. However, the details are never superfluous and more if we talk about couples. Taking care of magic is important, whether you have been together for two months, five years or forty. And the magic is maintained based on small gestures.

“And you know that you are the princess of my enchanted dreams.
How many wars have I fought to have you here by my side?
I don’t get tired of looking for you, I wouldn’t mind risking you.
If at the end of this adventure I managed to conquer you
and I have painted my princess in an imaginary painting.
I sang in his ear whispering very slowly
I have been shipwrecked for so long and I know it was not in vain
I haven’t stopped trying, because I believe in miracles.”

Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt

Tell me now ’cause I believe in something
I believe in us”.

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight”.
