Then get creative. Do you have a favourite movie together that you know the words to or something poignant like from your first movie date?
Well here are some examples to help you out and get your started!

And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve.

The answer must be in the attempt.” —Celine, Before Sunrise
