Nothing says romance quite like this image by LIFE’s Alfred Eisenstaedt. 
Pictured: On August 14, 1945 — VJ Day — a jubilant sailor plants a kiss on a nurse  in Times Square to celebrate the Allies’ long- awaited World War II  victory over Japan. Originally published (not as a cover shot, as  most people assume today, but as just one in a series of “VJ Day  victory celebration” images featured in the middle of the magazine) in  the August 27, 1945, issue of LIFE.

Happy Valentines Day from your friends at LIFE.

"That’s who you really like. The people you can think out loud in front of."

"The first time
you took off your clothes
in front of me, you slid
the white fabric of your blouse
off your arms and revealed
the pale ladders
of scars.

You never referenced them
directly. You said you were
lost, once. You said you
did things, once, and you
did them because they
helped you survive yourself.

I didn’t say anything,
but you took my hand
and pressed it to the
ridged rows of your flesh
and for every line you left
upon yourself and healed,
I found another reason
to call you beautiful."
