Here's some more thoughtful words from kids about love.

"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs."

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

""Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."

"Love cards like Valentine's cards say stuff on them that we'd like to say ourselves, but we wouldn't be caught dead saying."

And, finally, this one: "You really shouldn't say `I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Don't forget to tell that special someone that you love them this Valentine's Day. And if you really mean it, say it a lot.
