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.

先森。
先森。你是我每天早上醒来第一个想起的人，每天晚上睡前想念的人，梦里总是梦见的人，每天想念千万次的人。想到你，心就特别软。

青春换来了什么
2015年……你今天说因为我家里不是那么有钱，和我结婚过的不好都是因为我……多么可笑可悲的话……这就是5年的青春换来的

老婆，今天是在一起整整三年了，这会心里好难受，为什么要这么对我，让我一个人躺在这空空的大床上，憋得慌，心里好难受。。。

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.
