A Letter to the One You Love, Sent to Your Future
The most extravagant thing you can do with love is keep this exact feeling intact. The sweetest things said out loud fade into the everyday — but put them in a letter, addressed to your first anniversary, the night before your wedding, or an ordinary day ten years from now, and they become proof, delivered to your future selves, of what this love looked like at the start. People here have written through the hardest stretch of long distance, to "the us who finally live in the same city." One person wrote down every nervous heartbeat the night before proposing, addressed to the couple's tenth anniversary. Others simply want to tell a future partner: I love you so much right now, and I hope we're still together when this arrives. Nobody knows the ending when these letters are sealed — and that's exactly what makes them moving. It's a promise made in earnest, mailed to the future. Below are letters couples chose to share. If there's someone on your mind, write this moment down.
Ideas to get you started
- Capture your ordinary days: the restaurant you always go back to, the little habit of theirs that gets you, the last thing that made you both laugh. That's what the future wants most.
- Write the thank-you or the apology you've never managed to say out loud. A letter makes it easier — and more solemn.
- Pick a delivery date that means something: your anniversary, their birthday, or a future the two of you have promised each other.
- Or each write one and swap — schedule them for the same day and open them together. Plenty of couples do.

亲爱的Ms.张,当你看到这封信的时候我应该不在了吧,我感觉人这一辈子会有好多遗憾啊,不管是在哪一方面。张,我真的好羡慕你,我也好恨我自己,为什么亲手推开了那个满眼都是我的你,如果可以,我希望你可以以后生小孩,这样我就能投胎陪在你身边了,其实这也不现实,我们都知道没有什么神的存在,没有什么转世轮回,有

我很难过你对我的绝情,但是如果这是你思考好了的结果,那我也是没有办法,我会去尽可能的理解你,开导自己,虽然我放不下你吧。雨杉,我从来没敢和你说过爱,但是感觉我打的应该是直球了,我很喜欢你,一直,永远,以后,请你不要忘记我好吗,我一直在梦到你,你说,你会不会偶尔也会想起我,舍不得你,要是有天想起我了,

朋友圈里某个美女,以后不打扰你了,也不主动找你了,刚刚我的心确实难受了,我对你是有好感,我一直有控制我的感情,不敢对你太投入,而你的心里根本没有我,你好好在朋友圈里滴 cp 吧,就此别过吧,整个朋友圈我只对你一个人有感觉,难道你心里就不明白吗,不然我整天闲的来这里发癫,我不会跑别的地方发癫吗?你以为

远方亲爱的李彦蓉 见字如面,展信舒颜。此刻窗外的晚风正轻轻摇晃着树叶,我握着笔反复写了又划掉开头,实在不知道该如何起笔——因为我满心都是你,满心都是想告诉你,无论成绩如何,你,李彦蓉,都是我生命里最珍贵的存在。 记得我每个悲伤偷偷躲在寝室流泪的夜晚,是你不离不弃,用最真诚的话语,化开了我的内心。无数

Frequently Asked Questions
What if we break up before it arrives?
Once sealed, a letter's content and delivery date can't be changed — but if you truly don't want it sent, you can delete it from your letters page before delivery day. Many people play it safe by sending the letter to their own inbox and deciding later whether to pass it on.
Can my partner peek at it early?
No. Between sealing and delivery day, nobody can read it — not even you. The surprise stays whole.
How far ahead should I send it?
First anniversaries, wedding anniversaries, and birthdays are the favorites. For a first letter, keep it within a year — it's free, and the anticipation is just right.
