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.

为我突然的造访说抱歉
贸然写信,关怀一下,前几日没忍住偷看你QQ动态,很下头不是嘛哈哈哈,今天是你的生日,你应该找到了新的男朋友了叭,他知道你不能吃辣嘛,他知道你喜欢吃麦当当的薯条嘛,他应该知道吧,毕竟都是你男朋友了,那天看到动态我第一个想法是如果遇到你了一定要问问你手臂痛不痛,做穿孔是你一直想做的但是没去做,肯定很痛吧

表白一周年的纪念
妞:你知道今天是什么日子吗?是我们在一起一周年。去年的今天呀,你化着美美的妆,带着我打车吃牛肉火锅,匆忙的走路寻找买素戒的首饰店,走累了时间也不够了,就打车赶去电影院附近找…当那枚戒指戴在我手上有时候,我发现它好美,是我长这么大见过最美的礼物。进到电影院的时候,没想到只有我们两个人,那是我第二次进电

给未来的你
亲爱的宝宝,见字如面: 这里是一年前的我,有一些话想对现在的你说,在我所在的时空,我趴在霍尔果斯公租房的床上,我搭的垫子,你铺的凉席,屋外炎炎夏日,屋内是你和我(糟糕,写信好像被你发现了,怎么有人玩手机也不专心啊)。你说想要我写点什么给一年后的你,其实我不想给你写这种信,因为如果在你所在的时空我们还

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.
