Rumor has it that the first love letter was "written" by accident by two young lovers enjoying a picnic together. After eating a juicy pomegranate, the man pressed his lips to a white cloth and noticed that an impression of his mouth remained. In a romantic gesture, he handed it to his lover saying, "With the stain from my lips, I officially pass my love to you."
The woman was genuinely moved because he had put his love in print. Love letters are the most cherished gift lovers can give to each other.
Not only do they make you feel loved, they allow you to relive the
experience each time you open the letter. Not too many romantic offerings carry this much weight. Despite this, they are so rarely given. Why? The answer is simple; it's because no one knows how to write one.

To start, it's important to know that a love letter does not have to be
very long in length. Instead, it can be as short as you'd like . even one
sentence if you choose. "Length phobia" is one of the main deterrents to
writing a love letter. Don't fall prey to this. You can communicate your
affection by using many words or a select few.

A simple framework.

There is an art to writing a love letter and it's easier than you might think. Overall, you don't have to be a good writer to turn out beautiful love letters. All you need is a simple framework to follow that guides you through the process. Within this structure is a set of three elements that need to be included: 1.The opening - How you address your partner, 2.The middle - stating your feelings, and 3.The end - your final words.

Salutation
The easiest part of a letter is the opening. Not only this, but it sets
the tone for the entire letter which is why it's important to carefully
choose your words. For instance, a letter that begins with, "My dearest
love" is certainly going to provoke more feeling from your partner than an opening that reads, "Hi." This is the time to use pet names, affectionate greetings, or a loving phrase. If you get stuck trying to come up with an opening to your letter, try one of these: Hello Love, Treasured Soul Mate, My Dearest, Ever Dearest, The one I love the most, My Darling, Sweetheart.

State your feelings
For many people, creating the body of a love letter is anything but easy.
To simplify this, the best thing to do is quote others who describe your
feelings in a way you can't. There is no need to recreate the wheel.
Quotations are a good thing to include in a love letter to help you convey feelings you may otherwise have difficulty expressing. A thoughtful, romantic citation is sure to bowl over your lover.

The final word

Ending a letter can sometimes be more of a struggle than creating the
body. Not adding a meaningful ending, leaves the reader with an anticlimactic feeling. For example, a letter that ends with, "Sincerely"
will not make as much of an impression on your partner as, "Yours for
eternity." The key is making sure that you choose your last word as
carefully as your first. To help ease you through this final step, listed
below are several to choose from: Yours truly, Yours devotedly and
lovingly, I hold you in my thoughts, Most faithfully yours, or All my heart.
There you have it, the recipe for writing a simple love letter without
having to fret while doing it. The format is so easy, all you have to do
is cut and paste your beginning, middle, and end from your favorite
phrases above. You can't get any easier than that and your lover will
never know the truth.
