Helen, Helen, come home; there was a Helen before there was a War, but who remembers her? (H.D., from “Winter Love,” Selected Poems)

I hope that everyone who confesses today has their love come true. And, by any chance, if there is anyone who hasn't been confessed to by the one they love yet… or, if you're suffering from love-related pains... don't be too sad.
Another person may be in love with you, right now.
And they may just confess to you out of the blue.
That they've liked you for a long time, even though you were totally unaware.
The year is 1988. It was a time when it was chilly, but our hearts were fiery, and we didn’t have much, but people’s hearts were warm.
