There are so many different ways that people can show their love for one another. Perhaps it's buying each other gifts, giving them a bunch of flowers, or going out for a fine meal together. However, one of the oldest ways is that of writing love letters, and for good reason. Love letters take some thought because you have to convey the deep feelings in your heart into words that express those feelings. It isn't always easy to do and the effort that goes into is part of why people like getting love letters. The other reason they are a great way to tell show somebody you love them is because they can hold it in their hands, and read at a later day. This makes it a tangible reminder of how you feel about them. With that in mind, here are some ideas for writing love letters.
Be poetic. Most people find this to be a difficult thing to do, but that's a good thing because it shows you were willing to take extra effort. Write a poem that is straight forward, or one that uses a lot of imagery. Pay attention to how it sounds--to its rhythm--as well as to the words you're using. Also, not all poetry has to rhyme perfectly, so be creative and let your feelings come through in the letter.
Make it long. As the old sonnet starts: "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..." Writing a love letter that's only a few sentences long is easy, but probably not all that meaningful. Tell your partner why you love them, including every possible way you can think of. Then tell them how they make you feel and why. Then go on to explain why you like being with them. Keep going. Be sincere in sharing your feelings and be willing to be vulnerable in letting your true feelings show.
Write it out by hand. A real love letter is not the kind of thing that should be sent via email. In fact, it shouldn't be typed at all. Is your penmanship sloppy? Sorry, that's no excuse, just do your best to write neatly. Writing the love letter by hand adds to its sentimental value and shows, again, just how much you car about the person you are writing it for.
Be creative. Adding little hand-drawn hearts is always a nice touch. Or you could write the letter normally, then embed a secret message in it...but don't tell your partner about the hidden message until a few days later. After you write the letter, you could cut it up into six puzzle pieces, but only send five of them. This will make your partner ask you for the missing piece. Hide the letter and have them hunt for it. Or, put it somewhere that hey are sure to find it, but when they least expect it. The whole key to writing good love letters is to put effort into them; that effort shows your partner that you care.
