Valentine's Day is over, but that doesn't mean you can't stop wooing that one special person or surprising your lover by waxing poetic. Ditch the cheesy lines and impress them with these phrases from one of the most talented voices from South America, Pablo Neruda!

1. Sonnet XVII

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

2. Don't Go Far Off

"Don't leave me, even for an hour, because

then the little drops of anguish will all run together

the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift

into me, choking my lost heart."

3. Your Laughter

“Take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away, but do not take from me your laughter.”

4. Poem XIV

"I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."

5. The Queen

"I have named you queen.

There are taller than you, taller.

There are purer than you, purer.

There are lovelier than you, lovelier.

But you are the queen."
