The following page is full of romantic love letters for the benefit of all those seeking inspiration for their own romantic gesture.
Hello my dearest Jon,
Here I sit again, alone at dinner while away on another business trip. On the flight into Baltimore today, I decided I was going to do something new. Rather than emails or texts, I am going to sit and actually write you a letter every single day I am gone. Of course, I won’t stop with texts and emails, but it dawned on me that they just don’t have the impact of a real letter. So, forgive me that it is on hotel stationary rather than beautifully scented paper, but the words are what are important. I’ll probably be back before you get most of them, but that’s OK.
Anyway, I’m eating dinner in the hotel restaurant, quite good actually, but the single candle on the table makes me yearn for your handsome face and wonderful company while I eat. I realize that I have spent an extraordinary amount of time chasing after this promotion, and there is no guarantee I’ll even get it. In the process, I’m afraid I have neglected our relationship. In fact, I know I have neglected it. Rather than putting time spent in your amazing company as my first priority, I have been fretting continually about work. So, that’s what my heartfelt letter writing campaign is all about. I want you to know how very important our relationship is and how incredibly much I love you. These times apart have jolted me awake, I need to get my priorities straight. I’m just so very grateful you have been understanding and have stuck with me through all this extra time I am spending on work at your expense.
As I flew above the wispy clouds this morning, looking down on the almost infinite number of houses, cars and little towns all filled with busy people hurrying through their lives, I realized that love is the most important thing there is. Not having the fanciest car or the biggest house or the most things, but knowing that you have all the love of another person, one who means the world to you. And that is what you are for me! Your love is so precious to me; it really does mean everything! It would be quite forgivable if you don’t feel assured of that. After all, what kind of message have I been sending with my intense focus on work for the past six months?
I know how neglect can wear away at a relationship slowly until there is nothing left. I was simply horrified when the thought flashed through my mind that this might be happening to us! All these days I have spent away and even when I’m home, I’ve been preoccupied with this job and trying to climb the ladder to what I thought was success. Instead, I now know that a life filled with blissful love spent with you is what success really is! Please try to find it in your heart to forgive me for my obsession with work. I am seriously rethinking the whole situation, and now you will always come first. I just hope I’m not too late!
With All My Undying Love,

To My Loving Danelle,
I just wanted to say that you my sweet love are not just my lover; you are my soul mate, my best friend, and my entire world. Not a day goes by that I don’t thank God for your presence. Your warmth, generosity, and kindness are unparalleled, not only to me but to everyone around you. I have never met anyone with a heart as big as yours.
I remember our first kiss in Mexico when we met; I tried ever so hard to resist you, when we locked eyes that was it for me. I have never been kissed like that before, and I still feel like that every time we kiss. I knew it would be more than just a holiday romance, I could feel it, and here we are five years down the line and still blissfully in love.
I can’t imagine my life without you, and I pray that we will still be together in many more years from now. I have learnt so much from you, things that have helped me to turn my life around for the better. You loved me despite my imperfections, you taught me not to be so hard on myself because no one is perfect, and that “love is two imperfect people trying to love each other perfectly”. That was the most beautiful thing that I have ever heard. You have lead me on a road of self discovery that I never knew existed before I met you, I have become a better person, my relationships with my friends and family are so much better and that is all because of what I have learnt from you.
I really do appreciate your love, and I just wanted to let you know that no matter where life’s journey takes us, you will always have a special place in my heart.
I love you dearly.
From your one and only,
[Name Withheld to Protect the Innocent]
