Stay a while.
Two hearts, one slow walk home.

Getting more from these captions

Put the quote on the image
Text over a plain photo reads clearly in a story or carousel. Keep it to two or three lines at a readable size.
Use the shorter ones for stories
Stories disappear after 24 hours and get a few seconds of attention, so short lines work better there than long ones.
Don't add a fake author
These are original lines. Leave them unattributed, or put your own name or handle in the corner.

Yes. They were written for this page and aren't taken from any author, poem or film. Post them on your own account.
