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.

新年好呀
早上好!起床了吗?现在是2020年7月15日,我刚刚过了银盛通信的试用期。最近我们开始越来越多地讨论起结婚和买房的事了,说不定年底就结婚了吧,偷偷和你说,我和我的朋友都说,我年底就会结婚了。你给我做的银戒指我一直戴着呢,我妈还问我这样就算订婚戒指了?反正你没说,我就当它算是哈。回到买房和结婚的问题,

写给未来的婷婷
当你收到这封信,已是半年后了。现在的你应该状态更好了,人也越来越漂亮了。这半年里的每一天,我都十分的想你,当然,也没有忘记爱你。想你爱你已经成了融入生活的一件事,虽然依旧会伤感难过,但我依旧不后悔。爱你依旧,初恋你时如此,现在如此,往后亦如此。不知道那时的我,有没有勇气再次跟你表白,或许也很困难吧。

请你好好看哦
张柯雅啊,我也不确定你是不是曾经知道我的心意,可能暗恋了两年的时间结束了啊,我啊就是想说一下我一直的感受,在暗恋你的时间内我感觉经历了好多,因为发生了蛮多事吧我不知道你心里我是什么样的存在,我感觉我之前一直都挺幼稚的,总想什么事都和你说,被赞同了我会是很开心的,当然啦也有难过的时候,但是我并不觉得你

写于 2020年8月10日, 相识她的第五年第一次和他相遇,是在2016年的一个周末,下雨天。下雨一直以来是我最喜欢的天气。雨滴的落下能平复我的心情,天空中的灰色表现出了生活的平静,是最适合享受午觉的时光。雨滴落下的声音让我感觉身负在林中,穿梭于每个阴森的森林。雨天,没有特别的正能量,也没有特别的低

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.
