Writing a love letter
Often what cant be said can be penned down. Let the words flow, and let your words steal the heart of the person reading the letter.

Love is.
What cant be said,
What cant be heard
What needs to be conveyed
But can never be told
But what can definitely be made better
By writing a love letter.

Here are some words that may assist you with forming the content of your letter:

•  Alluring •  Kisses •  Embracing •  Voyage •  Blossoms •  Stars •  Angel •  Lover •  Elation •  Sensuality •  Heart •  Giving •  Darling •  Rose •  Absence •  Seeing •  Tasting •  Touching •  Holding •  Caressing •  Memories •  Content •  Lascivious •  Beautiful •  Gorgeous •  Vision •  Privileged •  Adoring •  Velvet •  Rainbow •  Happy •  Passion •  Innocent •  Dreaming •  Delirious •  Temptation •  Complete •  Desire

Remember a letter is a direct reflection of the images you carry in your heart, so don't pen down what you don't feel, it is not going to ring true! So who cares if you are more adept at using professional terms, so what if you call a kiss a meeting of the lips, or your feelings, by-products of the heart, the point is to get your message across.

Consider using handmade paper, or letter pads and writing the letter yourself, it adds a personal touch, making things more intimate.

The authors of 18th century love letters were masters at this form of letter writing. They would use special parchment paper, hand written with a quill; the envelope was sealed with wax and bundled with special ribbon. They were concerned with presentation as well as content.

If you don't trust your handwriting, ask a friend with good calligraphic skills to perform the task for you. It is not bad, as long as the words are yours, as long as the letter sounds like you.

It is difficult to describe the impact this type of presentation makes to your loved one. It is not uncommon for the recipient of such a letter to have the letter framed and displayed in a special place in their home.

Add a cute photograph of you and your partner at the top, just a small photograph, which will make the reader of the letter smile fondly at those memories and think of you ever so fondly.

Spelling mistakes are not a flaw they are an error. Your whole letter looses its impression when it is dented with something as impermissible as spelling mistakes.

With regards to content, you should write from the heart with layman terms. Avoid large complicated words when a simple one will do.

The opening and closing of the love letter are very important as they set the tone for the entire letter.

If you know her for just a couple of weeks you might consider using, "Dear.." Or "Hey." You don't want to get as personal as already mentioning " My Dearest.." Or "Only mine." It might already put the reader off, thinking it is getting too intimate for comfort.

The opposite rule would apply if your love has moved into a more intimate area. You would not want to write a lesser opening and risk sending the wrong signal to your lover that may suggest you are only friends.

When closing the love letter, it should add impact that sums up your feelings in a few words.

For example, Yours unconditionally, ... Your beloved Husband, ... My love, ... With heartfelt love, ... I long for your touch, love...

Closings of lesser impact may include, with warmest regards, ... With affection, ... With fondest memories, ... Until our next meeting, ... Yours truly, ...

Above all, have fun with writing to the person of your dreams. Think of the smile it would bring to your loved one to find a special letter from you under her/his pillow.

These letters are cherished by the recipient and often kept for a lifetime.
