Love Letters

[PacificBlue]

Do you write them? Have you written them?


Example:

January 27, 1918

My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well. I am fast shut up like a little lake in the embrace of some big mountains. If you were to climb up the mountains,
you would see me down below, deep and shining - and quite fathomless, my dear. You might drop your heart into me and you'd never hear it touch bottom.

I love you - I love you - Goodnight. Oh Bogey, what it is to love like this!

Katherine Mansfield, writer, to John Middleton Murray

If you do write them are they only via email now? Do you use special paper? Do you scent the paper with your perfume/cologne? Do you have a wax sealer? Do you add your lipstick kiss at the bottom?

being a man there is a communication problem , i find it a lot easier to actually get the meaning across on paper than mere spoken words , i dont know why

To Robert Browning:

And now listen to me in turn. You have touched me more profoundly than I thought even you could have touched me - my heart was full when you came here today. Henceforward I am yours for everything....

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Yes. Very good ones too i might add!

I have to agree with you.

 

[lobito]

oh yes, I add my lipstick to the outside! Serious!

No really, I do write them ALL the time, whether my girl is here with me, or away from me.

Email is ok, but there's nothing like actually sitting down and writing by hand, a love letter to your baby.

I do use special paper if I have it, and if not, I'll create something on my computer, and print it out, THEN hand write the letter.

When she writes back to me, she always uses her favorite perfume, "Pink" from V.S.

Pablo, I agree with you, sometimes it's MUCH easier to write it out, than to say it. I do this with friends & family too. If I'm staying with them, getting ready to leave them I will write them a letter to express how I feel, then hand it to them just as I'm leaving.

I feel that letters like that...are absolute proof that love can indeed be as passionate between lovers physically far away from one another....


Letter writing is such a beautiful lost art...

Although, the internet is bringing it back to us..expressing feelings through the written word alone.


I think nothing is sexier than a man whom knows his way with a quill....


A lot of things can be *faked* online..but emotion seldom is..

I've written them. It's one of my favorite parts of being in a relationship with someone. Although I could use email, I choose to send them through the mail. I pick out special paper. I have a wax sealer. I scent them occasionally with my perfume. I've also been known to add a lipstick kiss at the bottom.

In a previous relationship, it made my heart smile to hear his excitement over receiving letters from me in the mail. I wouldn't describe him as being overly romantic but those letters turned him to mush every time. I took great joy in spending time crafting them until they conveyed my feelings for him as I best I could. I look forward to that joy again with a future lover. I think it's something I would continue to do even with a husband...I'd put little notes in his lunch, or stick a note explaining in graphic detail all I wanted to do to him when he returned home that evening.

I also write letters to my best girlfriend. She lives in a different state than I do now and she actually started sending me notes in college, while we were still roommates. She would leave them for me on my bed. I have a box full of them. Some are just a few words others are longer. Each conveys her love. I know that I immediately smile when I open the mail box and see her handwriting on a note.

With a handwritten letter...the love lives forever, captured within the pages.

How many times have you pulled out an old letter from a somebody you love and felt transported back to the moment when you first read it...?

Like your special box of notes..PacificBlue. There is tangible magick contained within that box..

My parents wrote love letters which my mother kept just like in the old movies..tied together with a red satin ribbon...

They are so precious...I can feel their absolute love for one another radiating from the faded ink.
