How to Write Romantic Love Letters

The art of writing letters to girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, and wives seems to have been lost. I remember writing love letters as early as grade school, which were often unfortunately snagged by my teachers. Still, those that made it through were always held onto for years and read countless times. Writing romantic love letters isn’t hard, but many times people make the mistake of using a text or email instead. The truth is, nothing can replace seeing the written words of someone that loves you, and nothing can be preserved or snuck in as well as a well crafted love note can be.

The great thing about writing love letters is that you can hide them where your significant other won’t find them until later. For instance, you can hide a love note in a glove box, purse, wallet, or lunch bag. You can slip them onto a dresser during the night time hours, or you can leave one on the pillow on your way to work.

Writing a romantic love letter is not difficult, but it takes time to put your thoughts onto paper in a manner that reads well. Don’t just wing it, write a few drafts of what you hope to say so that you can find the right way to say what you really mean. Don’t force anything, and write straight from the heart. Even if your words are unpolished, your loved one will appreciate the time it took to write a note and leave it behind.

If you are feeling especially adventurous, consider writing a poem for your love one. If you aren’t the poet type, borrow one from a book and include it within your note. Don’t just grab a random quote from a website either, make sure you find a quote that matches the intent of your note. Also, don’t regurgitate the same overused poems that other people do. Try to find something you’ve never seen or heard of before.

Lastly, if you just can’t figure out how to get the right words down on paper, ask a friend to help you out. Sometimes, just speaking the words you feel can be a great way to get started. Record your message on the recorder of your phone and then transcribe it into a note from there. Heck, you don’t even have to write it down. Sometimes, a recording can do the trick perfectly.

There are numerous ways that you can share your feelings via a romantic love letter and each has a personality of their own. I’ve still got hundreds of notes from my spouse kept in a tiny tin can in my closet. Even though they are nearly 15 years old, reading them never does. Give your spouse or significant other the gift of a precious note to hold onto as a reminder of your relationship. I promise that they’ll never complain about you being romantic. In fact, nothing is more original or easy to give than a romantic love letter.
