Love letters... aren't they immortal? In an age where texts, tweets, posts and email messages are prevalent, who would've thought that these inked papers will continue to survive? In more ways than one, love letters remains to have a sweet spot for both the writing lover and the recipient. Perhaps, when you hear love stories, you hear about these letters, too. Or, when your parents see you read texts and any other digitised forms of communication, you inevitably hear remarks, and how it used to be... with a love letter. With all these hype or curiosities, you’re probably wondering if you could pen one, just one love letter. Or, perhaps, you’ve been writing this stuff and find that yours is lacking. The following sections should be able to help you address such writing issues. Find inspiration Of course, the best inspiration is the recipient. Think of her, what you want to say to her, but end up not telling her. Putting it in paper is one of the most brilliant ways of letting it out (apart from action). But if words, the right words are hard to come by, pick your old man’s love letters. You can also browse through some in the internet say, glamour.com’s “The 10 Best Lover Letters Ever Written.” Reading through them, find points you’d also want to make in your letter. Interestingly, reading these love letters could help you feel comfortable about writing them. Add a sense of urgency Create such effect by letting words tumble, word after words, almost incoherent. When you pattern your love letter to a language you often use around your girl, you can trust her not to get lost in your letter. In other words, it’s just like your thoughts – written not spoken, this time. Shower with adoration How you adore her – scribble it, too. There are probably lots of things about her that you adore. If she doesn’t have a clue, a love letter is again a good way of reminding her (just how beautiful she is in your eyes). For variety, you need not settle for her appearance. You can add her movement, her grace, or how the world around her revolves – with her being just her. Express temporal loss Ah, this one will really, really flatter her. When you express you temporal loss – like that space in your arms where she’s supposed to be – you get to share with her what she’s probably experiencing, too. Additionally, expressing how her presence (and absence) affects you sheds vulnerability – a side she might also want to learn. Lastly, wrap your love letter in sincerity as this can ward off any tinge of corniness. Also, handwritten love letters are the standard.
