I first heard about the 6-word love story on Valentine’s Day, when I read Tara Parker-Pope’s NY Times article.
The idea originates from Smith Magazine, home of the Six-Word Memoir Project. The website has all kinds of six-word memoirs on everything from teenagers to food. They asked their readers to offer six-word memoirs to describe both love and loss in their life.

Some of the replies include:
Hearts clubbed by diamonds in spades.
Passion, fireworks, good loving. He’s gay.
Apart now. Together in big picture.
Love yourself; all else will follow.
A new kidney from my brother.
Your new wife is too friendly.
I can’t walk; he doesn’t care.
Met at 16. Married at 55.
Lifetime love. Just six months done.
Finally found love, at age 41.
Note to self: avoid head cases.
Loved her madly — then went mad.
Pathology class, I saw her, forever.
Facebook stalked. Party meet. Love complete.
He interviewed me. Married twenty-one years.
She fed me. Me wed she.
Warning, love: I blog my breakups.
Suspending dreams now for our health.
Age 62: Match dot com successful!
In the morning, she made pancakes.
Fell in love. Then fell out.
If you are ever looking for something to pass time, there are over 1,000 more comments on Tara’s article!

I decided to come up with some of my own…
Me anxious tornado, you calm breeze.
Fire plus Earth, somehow it works.
Laugh lots, fight fair, forget often.
Showed me how to love myself.
Six foot two, he’s all legs.
Five foot four, she’s all heels.
Some things I can’t say here.
New girl at school. Eyes Met.
Admiration for each other, inspires change.
After eleven years, stomach still flips.
Will never understand men fully. Amen.
Mutual goal: To see partner happy.
Found each other. Split. Found ourselves.
Someday we’ll figure it all out.
I hope we never grow up.
If I could sum it all up I’d choose:
Respect, the foundation. Appreciate, every layer.
Me Anxious tornado , you calm breeze. is a close second though. Eric said, ‘I’ve never been referred to as a calm breeze before!!’ lol.
Eric said:
Stole My Heart With A Smile.
What would you write?
I love, love, LOVE this!!
I wasn’t looking, he blindsided me.
or
I’m not perfect, he doesn’t care.

Ugh, I am usually so wordy that I can never do these things! I’m trying, but my brain is drawing a blank!
Although I’m really enjoying reading those from others. You all are so creative!
You just made me cry, such beautiful words!
“Inner happiness finds outer true love”
So sweet! Reading these could easily take over my Friday workday. :)
My 6 words are:
Cheers to all the single ladies!
Make him laugh with my burps.
I love this!! I think my favorite is this one “After eleven years, stomach still flips” because tahts exactly what Im looking for.
Right now, I think mine is this – It will be worth the wait.
Who knew it could be so hard to come up with the perfect 6 words!
Mine would be:
Laughs lots kiss often loves always
Great post Angela!
He forgave me, our love lives.
Building on Coco’s 6 words:
Rebound. Won me over with cooking.
Also:
Been through hell but always together.
And finally:
Chose him to learn about myself.
Wonderful post, I could spend hours reading them all. :-)
Acceptance leads to love and joy.
We make each other better people.
This is fun. I loved reading through them!
I think mine would be
‘Daily adventures keep our hearts young’
Also, the fiance and I totally chase eachother around being vampires. Do you have a sound effect? We do :)
lovers and best friends for eternity
or
love is something cherished not judged
living life by our own rules
That was so cute. :) Thanks for sharing.
Love like that really exists, doesn’t it?
I honestly love everyones storys! This is such a good idea :) Here’s my attempt:
true love, from fifteen to forever <3
You can stand under my umbrella.
Too true because this is how he fell for me, it was raining and we were on our way to a formal. I was getting my umbrella out of my bag and being the southern Illinois boy that he is, he offered to carry it for me. The dating didn’t start until 5 months later and a messy breakup for him.
I don’t have a love story yet, but my autobiography would be “I don’t have my priorities straight.”
And I mean that in the best possibly way.
This is cool!
He’s everything I want, plus more.
I knew he was The One.
Young lust turned into forever love
What a lovely , uplifting post!
My soul mate, my last date.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful article and idea :-)

Thank you for this post. My long-time-love, who’s also my high school sweetheart, is in Spain playing basketball so I’m always looking for interesting things for us to do together and we had a blast coming up with our 6-word-love story.
I said:
“He drives me crazy, stupid boy.”
“Volleyball player meets basketball player. Love”
“Love a thousand times over again…”
He said:
“Without rain, there’d be no rainbows.”
“My wife, the greatest conquest achieved” (We howled at this one)
“Don’t ask how, it just works.”
You & me against the world
