So, we've gathered some helpful tips. Go ahead; spill your heart onto a piece of paper. Whether through a one-line sentiment, a poem, or some prose - let them know how you feel!<br /><br />Tips for writing your own love letters<br /><br />Make it personal. Writing a love letter is a dying art. So if you're going to say it - mean it!<br /><br />Express your gratitude for the person being in your life.<br /><br />Include any special nicknames that the two of you share.<br /><br />Be specific. What are the things that he/she does to make you starry-eyed? Is it the way he gets a little teary at a sad movie? Is it the way she can't wake up without her green tea?<br /><br />Include memories of specific times you spent together. Let him/her know what they meant to you and why.<br /><br />Whether you're sending it by mail or delivering it to them personally, hand-write it. Typed letters are sterile. If you're even thinking about e-mail, then do something creative like designing a personalized "home page" love letter.<br /><br />Love quotes<br /><br />People have been writing about love for centuries.
