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.

如此
我知道自己喜欢你，但我不知道将来在哪里，因为我知道，无论在哪里，你都不会带我去，而记忆打亮你的微笑，要如此用力才能变得欢喜。所以，如此，便好

2019感谢遇见你
我们的生活，所以，我才开始学习摄影剪辑，尝试自己以前不敢去做的，现在我相信没有我不可完成的目标，只是我愿不愿意去做以及付出与之相对的努力。

给你的
明知道我们不可能，我还是担心你过不好这一生，我知道纠缠是最不酷的一种方式，对不起，我做不到不纠缠，我保证我就纠缠到你有人陪有人照顾的那天。

一试
偶然打开微信，偶然看了她的朋友圈。偶然发现了你仍在关注她。很想问你，为什么你删了她的微信，又添加她了呢！！我再怎么样也替代不了她，是吗？？

白熊，早上好，星期三加油。来到在这个陌生的地方，像是断了线的风筝。在这个很安静的小区里，想起你就要掉眼泪...要怎么样才能再见到你。棕熊

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.
