words for love

Margaret Atwood once wrote The Eskimos have 52 words for snow because it is so special to them; there ought to be as many for love. Whilst maybe there aren't that many synonyms for love, there are most definitely hundreds of different interpretations of what love is. There are stories about first love, lasting love, unrequited love, passionate love, platonic love, and so many more.
Below is a small selection of some of our favourite love-related literature  What poems, essays and stories would you add?

    Pablo Neruda's collection of poems titled "20 Poems of Love and a Desperate Song." My favorite is Poem 20, but they are all masterpieces.

      Ps. I love Sarah Kay. The first time I saw her interpret that poem, I couldn't stop crying.
