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.

我也不知道标题写什么 就写我想你了吧

不知道后面你有没有原谅我呀?可是我真的好想你,无论是以前还是现在我都想你了。我真的好喜欢你,我当时为什么没有把握住和你在一起的机会?我好后悔啊。后悔从前遇事只会凭着冲动说话,被坏情绪裹挟,一次次忽略你的感受,把最糟糕的一面留给了最在意的人。那段日子里,我总急于争辩、急于索要结果,不懂包容和耐心,亲手

好好亲启

好好:见字如面,展信欢颜 原来一只手打字是这么的不方便。今夜我仿佛把一辈子的对不起都在今晚说了一个遍,从医院回家的路上我萌生了这个念头,给你写封信吧,于是在8月17日的凌晨07分,我提笔给你写信。 我爱写信这件事最早可以追溯到我上中学的时候,我在那里埋葬了我的青春和第一次的初恋。我为什么说话文绉绉的

生日快乐-好好

见字如面:生日快乐 亲爱的好好,请允许我这么叫你,如果你反驳,大概率我也听不见了。 今天是阳历8月22号,如果时间可以再来一次,我再也不要理会心中的原则,再也不要在意体重与减肥,假如时间可以再来一次,面对你想要与我共同庆祝生日的邀请,我一定会欣喜的答应。 时光邮局大概率会在22日的凌晨给你发送这封信

一封来自于阿渊的信

TO:Wt 我不能理解,你一声不吭的就把我给删掉,就像我当初不理解,你准备偷偷的和我解除关系,不联系我开始冷暴力我一样但又站在你的角度想,喜欢的人和别人在一起了,自己还被瞒着,或许我也会很生气,就像你和别人在一起了,我也不会真心的祝福你,但我也会祝福你哦 ,我特别特别高兴可以遇见你,但是你在我特别爱

给刘文轩的一封信

亲爱的轩:这封信是我想了很久决定写给你的。原本手写的信留在黄陵,没办法重新誊写,就借着文字和你好好聊聊。信里会有些让人不太愉快的心里话,但我还是想全部坦诚告诉你。其实我真的很喜欢你,我们拥有许许多多很珍贵快乐的回忆。还记得你骑着电动车载着我吹风,遇上大雨,就算浑身淋湿,我们还是想在雨中接吻;打游戏的

花无凋零之日,意无传递之时,爱情亘古不变,紫罗兰与世长存。

你知道的,我喜欢用这种方式向你传达些什么,或许是因为只有信能承载我对你的万分不舍吧。 还记得我的模样吗?还能回想起我的声音吗?我的现在是否于你来说变得不堪了呢?请回答我吧,尽管我永远得不到答案。 日子像水一样流去了,你如站在那条河的尽头回望我,你要继续追赶水流向远处走去。属于我的片段是否被时间冲散了

可爱的咕咕:哈喽小顾,如果当初我们没有分开,今天本该是属于我们的六周年。可世上也没有那么多如果,我知道反复假设过去,其实没有意义我刚才开车时突然想起你曾经问我的问题,分开的这五年,我和别人相处时,纪念日和生日都是怎么度过的,刚刚开车的时候我一直在想,我好像从来没有那么那么爱过她们,和她们吃饭也不会和

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.
