Why I Love You looks like this in Morse.
Morse code does not distinguish case and has no symbol for whole words, so 'I love you' is sent letter by letter: two dots for I, a word gap, then LOVE YOU. The number 143 is sometimes used as a shorter stand-in because 'I love you' has one, four, and three letters — a convention popularized on pagers in the late 20th century.
