[ Notes & Messages ] [ Letters ] [ Poems ]

Unlike the little love note, the love letter generally does have a purpose and it can take a number of forms, it can be persuasive, apologetic or simply informative. All love letters, however,  share common aspects that make them romantic:

1.    A loving personal greeting (as intimate as possible).

2.    A mention of the loved one in each paragraph (about missing him, or remembering something wonderful about him, or hoping for something to come and so on).

3.    A loving closing paragraph (as intimate as possible).

4.    An intimate signature.

As with the short love note, do not bother with the address or full name. Start with the date and time near the right hand corner of the page.  Leave a little space and begin as you would with a love note, with an endearing salutation. For you letter, however, you will want to use at least some actual sentences. But do not be afraid to be creative. Break it up and then with a phrase or clause used as a sentence. Use short paragraphs. If you know a language other than English (or your main language in the letter), throw in a few foreign words here and there even if he does not understand. This will be fun as, he/she will trying to decipher your message. Just make sure it will be interpreted properly.

If the two of you are separated by time or distance, begin by telling that you miss him, use specifics: "I miss hearing your voice, I miss your smiling eyes, I miss your kisses." Then, go ahead and tell that what you have been doing, how you are feeling. Give your beloved a feeling of what your life is like away from him. And every once in a while (at least once per page), name something that you miss about him. It can be a simple phrase in the middle of a sentence or a separate paragraph - but again, be specific. Think of it as interspersing "little love notes and messages" throughout. This keeps the focus on your beloved and lets him know that you truly do think of him. After you have gone into whatever detail you like with what you have been up to, ask him what he is doing. Mention how you like to picture him. End with words of love. Tell that you are anxious to be with him again. And sign off with the sweetest words you had.

Of course you do not need to be away to write a letter. If you have something you want your lover to know - especially if you have trouble telling it face to face or if you want to formalize the message - by all means, just write!! You may want to apologize for something that is come between you. Leave the letter where it will be found (for man, maybe next to the flowers you just brought for her). Maybe you had an argument and you want to clarify your thoughts to him. To do this, outline your thoughts in advance. Explain your understanding of how he/she feels on the issue and then tell that how you feel about it and why you feel the way you do. Let him knows that it is a matter of different of opinion.

If you do not need an excuse to write a love letter any more than you need an excuse to write a little love note or message. If you would like to let your beloved knows how much you care for him/her (but in a more serious way than a fun little message) then by all means put it into a letter. Tell your beloved about life before him, how empty it was. Tell that how   much your life have been changed by him. your thoughts, your feelings. Mention all those ways that he is special to you. Say things that you are afraid to say out loud :-). And of course intersperse little love note or message and make them as intimate as you dare!!

Tips for actions:

Following you need some actions and activities to express the romantic spirit. Try one or two now!!

1.    Make a list of all the little things you can intersperse throughout your love letters to your partner: "I miss (whatever is appropriate), "I love your (whatever)", "You do (something special) for me", "I need you", "I'm thinking of you even now", etc.. Try to be creative, but more importantly be honest.

2.    Practice writing a love letter to your beloved on notebook paper. Start by writing a paragraph about what you are doing today - at home, at work, out and about. Then add a paragraph about what you want to accomplish tomorrow. Now add a third paragraph about your life in general - how you feel about it, where it is going, how it is been, whatever. Now go back and insert a few lines into first paragraph about how you enjoy your lover's company, mention something special: "What he/she did for you yesterday", "How you appreciate his/her listening to you", "What a great time you had last nite", whatever. Then insert at least one sentence into each of the following paragraph telling that you are thinking of him/her. Write a final  paragraph about your appreciation of your relationship. And sign if with the most loving closing you can muster. Use a nickname if you dare.

3.    On a nice paper, rewrite (or type) the letter and send it.

4.    If you go away on a trip, be sure to write. Even if you know the letter will arrive after you return home. :-)

5.    When your beloved travels away from you, write to him, either to the travel address (make sure the letter will has enough time to reach there) or to the home address for him/her to find upon the return.

6.    If you have an argument, or if you know that you have disappointed him, write down your feelings. Intersperse little love "notes & messages" about how you need him.

7.    Go to your local department  store, stationary store or drugstore and choose appropriate stationary or blank cards.

8.    Go to the post office and take a look at the variety of stamps available. Choose one that printed "love" or "heart" (if available) and if you like BUY A ROLL OF THEM.
