    Baby,
    If you wanted the moon, I’d find a way to lasso it down to Earth and place it in your hands. If you wanted the stars, I’d pluck the brightest ones out of the sky and fix them in your hair. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make you happy. You’re the center of my universe.
    XOXO,

    To my love,
    I just wanted to write you a letter about this moment we’re sharing right now in our lives. Everything moves quickly, and time never stands still. I know how fleeting every second is. The thing is, there’s no one I’d rather be with as the world keeps turning on its axis.
    It’s you I think of when I wake up in the morning. As I go through my day, it’s you I want to tell about all the best and worst moments. At night, as I drift off to sleep, it’s your love that keeps me warm.
    With every day that passes, I love you more. Every moment I get to share with you is one I’ll treasure for all my days.
    My endless adoration,
    _____ [13]
  2. 2
    My dearest,
    I know I tell you all the time how much I love you, but I’m not sure you understand how grateful I am for your love. Thank you for all the practical things you do (like cooking dinner when I'm tired or rubbing my shoulders after a long day). Thank you for the way you are with people, for being patient and showing such kindness and humor.
    But thank you most of all for loving me. No one has ever really seen me the way you do, and I feel so accepted and cherished. I appreciate the million little ways you make my life so much better than it was before we met.
    XOXO,

  3. 3
    Dear ____,
    I used to laugh at all the rom-coms where two people perfectly fit together and fall madly in love in an instant….but now I’m not so much of a skeptic. When we first met, I think my heart literally skipped a beat, and it’s never gotten quite back on track since. You’re the one who holds not just my hand, but also my heart.
    If I had to sum up our relationship in one word, I don't think I could do it. It's the fairy tale, the magic, and the romance all wrapped into a very real package with the person who isn't afraid to see me at my worst. You're smart, sweet, and everything I could want in a boyfriend—plus you're pretty cute too.
    Forever yours,

    [14]
  4. 4
    Cutie pie,
    You always ask me why I love you, so I decided to write it all down so you can keep it and read it whenever you feel the need.
    I love your optimistic nature. You always try to see the good in every person and situation, even when I can't see it myself. When I look at the world through your eyes, it's a better place.
    I love the way you kiss me. Your lips perfectly fit with mine. I love those quick kisses you shower me with throughout the day, and I love your deep, lingering kisses even more. They make my toes curl, and I shiver with delight.
    Most importantly, I love the way you complete me. You are the soulmate I thought I'd never find. You cheer me up when I'm down and help me find balance when my world is out of control. You make me want to do the same for you.
    All my love,

  5. 5
    Honey,
    I can remember the day we met like it was yesterday. We were at that party. I was having a drink and talking with a few friends when I randomly looked around the room. My eyes stopped on you, and my heart felt a rush. You happened to look over at the same moment and smiled at me. The minute I saw your smile, I knew I had to get to know you.
    You walked into the kitchen later to add some ice to your glass, and I stood there wishing I had something witty to say. Thankfully, you broke the ice by saying hi and flashing another one of those charming smiles. I managed to say hi back to you, and that was the beginning of a lovely conversation that has been going on for a little over a year now. To think that it all started with your smile.
    Love,

    [15]
  6. 6
    My dearest love,
    Waking up next to you feels like the start of a beautiful dream that I never want to wake up from. Simply being by your side fills me with a warmth and joy that I never knew existed before I knew you. You’re the calm in my storm, the sunshine on my cloudiest days, and the smile that melts my coldest winters. I cherish every moment that we share together, and I can’t wait to experience all the incredible memories we’ll make throughout the rest of our perfect love story.
    With all my love,

  7. 7
    My sweetheart,
    I wanted to write you a letter to remind you of just how special you are to me. You have this incredible ability to always see the best in me, even when I can’t see it in myself. Your kindness is a gentle but powerful force that makes the whole world feel better, brighter, and more hopeful. I feel so safe with you and like I can be the truest version of myself—you embrace my quirks and imperfections, and I likewise adore all of yours. Thank you, my love, for simply being you, and for the extraordinary love that you gift me with each day.
    Thinking of you always,

    “I am reduced to a thing that wants only you…I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone: I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. You, with all your undumb letters, would never write so elementary a phrase as that; perhaps you wouldn’t even feel it. And yet I believe you’ll be sensible of a little gap. But you’d clothe it in so exquisite a phrase that it should lose a little of its reality…I suppose you are accustomed to people saying these things. Damn you, spoilt creature; I shan’t make you love me any more by giving myself away like this — But oh my dear, I can’t be clever and stand-offish with you: I love you too much for that. Too truly. You have no idea how stand-offish I can be with people I don’t love. I have brought it to a fine art. But you have broken down my defenses. And I don’t really resent it.” [16]

    "Since I left you, I have been constantly depressed. My happiness is to be near you. Incessantly I live over in my memory your caresses, your tears, your affectionate solicitude. The charms of your incomparable self kindle continually a burning and a glowing flame in my heart. When, free from all solicitude, all harassing care, shall I be able to pass all my time with you, having only to love you, and to think only of the happiness of so saying, and of proving it to you?"

    “Nothing compares to your hands, nothing like the green-gold of your eyes. My body is filled with you for days and days. You are the mirror of the night. The violent flash of lightning. The dampness of the earth. The hollow of your armpits is my shelter. My fingers touch your blood. All my joy is to feel life spring from your flower-fountain that mine keeps to fill all the paths of my nerves which are yours.” [18]

    Please forgive me.

    Honey,
    The words ‘I am sorry’ are just not enough to convey all the feelings in my heart. I cannot figure out exactly how to say it, but trust me when I say I genuinely feel so terrible about hurting you.

I’m so sorry for how I’ve hurt you.
    Forever yours,

    My sweet pea,
    Now that I’ve had time to reflect on what happened yesterday, I realize the pain that I must have caused you.

Please give me a chance to set things right, and I promise to never behave this way again.
    I love you.

How to Write a Love Letter to Your Girlfriend

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Start with a personal salutation like “my darling” or “my love.” Open the letter with a simple greeting to your wife or girlfriend—and don’t be afraid to get mushy! Use a classic term of endearment like “To my love,” “Dear ____,” or “Baby.” You can also use a personal nickname that you have for your partner to make your letter cuter and more personal. Here are some other example openings for a love letter: [25]
    • My love,
    • Hi, babe
    • Hi, baby
    • My darling,
    • My dearest,
    • To my forever,
    • Dear sunshine,
    • My sweetheart,
    • Hello, gorgeous,
    • To my everything,
  2. 2
    Tell your girlfriend why you’re writing her a letter . After your salutation, let your girlfriend know why you decided to sit down and write her a letter. Maybe you’re writing a letter for a special occasion, like Valentine’s Day, a birthday, or an anniversary. Or, maybe you just feel so full of love and emotion that you need to put it down into words—that’s a very swoon worthy reason to write your girlfriend a romantic letter! Whatever your reason, jot down a sentence that describes your reasoning for writing your heartfelt letter. [26]
  3. 3
    Write about special memories together or things you love about her. For the main content of your letter, Beck recommends “writing what you love about your partner, like all the reasons why you love them…You want to describe the qualities that make them special to you and the qualities that actually touch your heart about them. You can name quirky, cute things about them. There can be tender things about them,” and you could even title the letter as “ reasons why I love you .”
    • Alternatively, continues Beck, “you can share one of your favorite memories with them. Or maybe a simple moment that really touched your heart but that you never told them about.”
    • Ultimately, just be sure to “tell them what they mean to you,” advises Beck. “Write about how their love has changed your life for the better. That’s a great love letter, saying that their love has altered your existence, you can’t live without them, things you appreciate about them.”
  4. 4
    Be authentic and personalize your letter to your girlfriend. While it’s more than okay to get inspiration from example love letters you read online, be sure to customize at least a few parts of your letter to really fit your girlfriend and your relationship together. Write your genuine feelings in your natural voice (your gf will be able to tell the difference!), rather than trying to use fancy academic words or academic language that doesn’t come naturally to you. Then, be sure to add in at least a couple of private jokes, specific memories, and other inside bits of knowledge that will make your letter feel extra special and personal.
  5. 5
    Involve multiple senses for a more dynamic and engaging letter. You can easily heighten your girlfriend’s experience of reading your words by going beyond the pen and paper—that’s right, we’re talking a three- (or four!) dimensional love letter. Lightly apply her favorite scent in the form of a perfume or essential oil to the paper. Add a tactile element she can hold, like a pressed version of her favorite flower, a small memento of your relationship, or a printed photo of the two of you.
    • While the letter is already visual, you can still elevate the visual presentation by using beautiful stationery , writing in a legible script, or adding stickers and other decorative elements to show the effort you’re putting into this romantic gesture.
  6. 6
    End with a romantic closing like “I love you” or “Yours always.” Finish with a closing that sums up the feelings expressed throughout your letter. You could go with a classic option like “Forever and always,” “Eternally yours,” “Yours always,” “With all my love,” or “Thinking of you always.” McCurley also recommends some specific love letter closings , including:
    • You are always in my heart.
    • I love you now and forever.
    • I am yours forever.

When to Write a Love Letter to Your Girlfriend

PDF download Download Article
  1. Write a love letter for a special occasion, on a regular day, or during hard times. The most obvious time to write a love letter is on an important day, like an anniversary, a birthday, or Valentine’s Day. A love letter given on one of these special days can really demonstrate how much you love and care for your girlfriend. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t give a love letter on any given day! In fact, these unexpected gifts can be even more meaningful, as they signify how much you’re thinking of your sweetheart on every day of the year—truly solidifying your love for her. [27]
    • Another appropriate time to write a love letter would be when the two of you are navigating a rough patch. Whether your girlfriend is having a rough time in her personal life or the two of you are working through an issue as a couple, a letter can reinforce your commitment to supporting her and your relationship through this difficult moment.
