write love letters

Like Cyrano de Bergerac :)

During our eight years together, through dating, engagement, the wedding, and now married life, we’ve filled a backpack full of love letters. Plus three notebooks with little notes back and forth. It’s important to express yourself with more than words, I think. Sometimes I pull out a letter, read it, and remember what was going on at that time in our lives. It makes me smile.

Once you have that, then the words will just flow on to the paper. Soidentify someone and then identify a feeling for them. Obviously the feeling has to be associated with something that usually leads to “Love”, like, desire, admiration, passion, lust or separation. I’ve found that my best love letters are those I write to someone I greatly desire but can’t have; either for distance or cirscumstance … OK, mainly cirscumstance .. you know: she is somewhere far away trying to “find herself”; she is married (not to me); I am married (not to her); she is away taking care of her Mom (that happens a lot to me); or I am away, supposedly having fun, but turns out it is not that fun at all.
Anyway, you got to tap into that inner desire, that feeling of unsatisfied yerning and the idea of what it could be if that person was nextto you and BOOM! the feelings explode and you have to funnel them down to the paper. Be careful though not to let the fact that that person is not near arise sadness or feelings of anger. Focus on how great it would be if they were there with you.
Be careful on editing. If possible don’t. However, if you are like me you have to check for grammar and syntax. But only do that. Try not to change the “feeling” of the letter since it will seem edited and unoriginal. You can even send the edited letter so that the person can see it as what it is: pure original, uneditted thought and feeling.
The worst part though: waiting for an answer. YOu wonder if they got it. If you know they did, then you wonder what they thought, if they liked it, if they feel the same, how come they haven’t written or called back right away after they got it.
Still, it is worth it.

for my ex.
it was cool, but now that i remember all the things i wrote to him, i think it was super stupid.
wereverrrrrrrr

last week when my bf left back home (he is lives 4 hours drive away from me) i realized how much i am in love with him. i wrote him a love letter and send it to him describing what i felt about him and how he changed my world. he called me the minute he read it and said that i have read his heart and mind, that he felt exact same. aww :D
it is easy when you are in love, thats why they are called love letters

...and I’ve found that they really don’t need to be long, mushy, or cheesy. Sometimes I just write a simple “I love you!” on a piece of paper and give it to him or leave it where he can find it. It’s nice to let people know that you care.

Now, I want to start writing “love letters” to my friends…I’ve let my love know that I care, and I don’t see any reason why I can’t do it for just friends as well.

=)

I wrote one. It was nice, though I still feel kind of silly. I will maybe write more next time we are apart.

I wrote a love letter today while I was at work :D It’s easy when you’re so in love :D

Does it count if i write them but never send them?

There’s something about expressing in written form your thoughts and affection for someone who can’t be near you at that moment that tugs the soul and unleashes the romantic in you. Besides writing love letters, I love receiving them. There’s a mystery, trying to decipher what your loved one has written. Are they telling the truth? And all those other burning questions. Sigh, I guess I’m just a romantic at heart.
