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.
How to write this letter
- 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.

亲爱的钟先生
“我是痞老板，今天也没偷到蟹黄堡秘方，但见到蟹老板很开心” “我是蟹老板，痞老板总是想偷我的秘方，但是我不会让他得逞的，我怕这个小东西偷到之后就再也不回来了。”

希望三年后的自己还爱着她
现在的她，依旧在和自己每天聊天，也只是网络上的聊天罢了，见了面还是不敢说话，现在是2020年11.27日11.00点，我依旧喜欢着降温洗，不知道三年后会是什么样

✌(̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)✌算是表白吧
很多次想找你聊聊天，可是不知道说些啥。你当兵时想着表白，怂了你复原时又想着表白，可惜又怂了真希望和你在一起。一起逛街，一起吃饭，一起看电影，一起手牵着手。晚安

宝贝，我们还在一起
亲爱的，这是又一年，我们还在一起。这是又一天，胡方亭，你好。还是会爱着你，还是有为你做任何事的冲动，还是保留着吵架之后仍想关心你的冲动。不管多少年，我都爱你。

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.
