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.

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

虽然我们不是男女朋友了，但还是向你再强调一下，无论有什么需要都可以随时联系我，难过了没处说也可以半夜给我打电话，不用担心犹豫，无论发生什么事，我都会毫不犹豫的帮你，因为你是我第一个想要结婚的女孩。一直喜欢你，经常梦见你, 一有空脑子里就是你的身影、每天都会想你。跟你表白也是为了表明心意，不希望索取关

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

不完美的完美
亲爱的徐骏骏 见字如面 此刻，你在睡觉，我在给你写信！很久没有静下心给你说话了 ，经常会想如果没有那件事情发生的话，我们是不是还开心的在一起，可是没有如果，也没有人生只如初见了。只是后悔还有很多事情没有做呢，我没有正式陪你过过节日 你没有陪我过过生日，曾经都毫无保留的爱着对方，现在只有满满的回忆，约

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.
