So many to choose from but here is one called Don’t Hesitate by Mary Oliver.
After music and poetry we walk to the car.
I believe in the miracles of art, but what
prodigy will keep you safe beside me,
fumbling with the radio while you drive
to find late innings of a Red Sox game?
I know a man
who reads all inscriptions on ancient stones
and who knows
the grammars of all languages, dead or alive,
but who cannot read
the eyes of a woman
whom he thinks he loves.

The Raincoat by Ada Limón
The Orange by Wendy Cope
maybe a little off-target for this prompt but if that final, remarkable stanza isn't about love in every single way than I don't really know what is...

Love Poems is one of my favorite books.
I saw her at a reading when I was in college.
I cried through a poem. She spoke to me after. She was a genuinely beautiful soul.
He laughed & then told me.
“we can do it like we did it when we did it that day” for no reason sometimes 😂❤️
