Let’s throw it back to the simpler times of Valentine’s Day during grade school. There were no worries about whether that guy/girl you started seeing expects a romantic date, booking restaurant reservations three weeks in advance or if you’ll be spending yet another February 14th without a significant other. Instead, everyone tried to impress their fellow classmates with the coolest Valentine's Day cards and the best candy to go along with it.

And, even though they were far from the best, we all remember handing out those little Sweetheart candies engraved with short sayings to our friends and, more importantly, our “special” friends. Valentine's Day was always filled with kids hyped up on too much sugar secretly professing their multiple crushes by means of heart-shaped candies. This is what those classic Sweetheart phrases really meant to your charming ten-year-old self.

1. “Be Mine”

If you had any “dating” life, this one went to him/her because there is nothing more charismatic than telling your boyfriend/girlfriend that they are yours.

2. “UR Hot”

Because we were all awkward (and if you weren’t, you are lying), you always ignored this heart because “hot” was way more than your twitchy self could muster up to actually give someone.

3. “Love Bug”

This is the one your mom dug out of the box and forced into your hand before dropping you off at school. She gives you a big smooch on the cheek, declaring that you’re her “cutest little love bug!” as you squirm under her affection, trying to get the car door open and escape the embarrassment.

4. “My Pal”

The heart you gave that guy/girl that you knew liked you…but you really just wanted to be just friends.

5. “Forever”

“Forever... Forever?! Does that mean that I will be devoted to whoever I give this to for the rest of my life?! I am ten years old…I am too young for this commitment!”

6. “Text Me”

This one was really just a tease because who had a cell phone as a child in the 2000s?

7. “I *heart* You”

The ultimate secret admirer candy. If this little heart was left on your desk by a mysterious prince charming, it was the talk for the rest of the day.

8. “U R Cute”

It’s hip, it’s trendy, it’s another millennial abbreviation! It was the heart you handed out when you wanted to prove your “coolness” to your crush.

9. “True Love”

For your BFF because “OMG I love you! Best friends forever!!! No guy will ever come between us.”

10. “XOXO”

Because one has to go to your favorite teacher, but it’s too scandalous for your classmates because god forbid you actually imply kissing another human being! Therefore, it was just an all-around safe move to lock in your teacher's pet status with this heart.

11. “Cutie Pie”

This one went to the sweet little girl in the front row with pigtails to whom you who are too afraid to talk too. And yet, you had the biggest crush on that "cutie pie."

12. “Wink Wink”

Even though you didn’t know the meaning of the word “sexual," this was the closest your fifth-grade self got to it.

13. “Puppy Love”

This is the heart that caused your Dad to lecture you because (apparently) you’re not supposed to feed your dog candy; yes, even though it literally says “puppy” and you just want your dog to feel loved, too! Gosh dad!

14. “Call Me”

If you followed up this heart with your house phone number, you meant business.

15. All Others

Since you can’t possibly eat another one and risk someone deciphering the unknown riddles associated with these tiny candies, you saved all the rest to give to your parents. Mostly just to suck up so you could eat ice cream after dinner. Because that’s what you really needed...more sugar.
