"A love letter can be very short or it can be long; it can be literary or non-literary; it can be bright or dark, cheerful or tragic. But above all, for a love letter to be a love letter it must be sincere!''
No matter how much we text on WhatsApp, Snapchat, or how many hours we skype, it is never same as a love letter. When it comes to expressing love, nothing beats the good old hand-written letter complete with stamps and sent via actual postal services.
The waits for the postman and cycle bells.The eternal longing urging to pull out the writer from the letter and hug him/her and the priceless happiness tracing their very handwriting,the words,the alphabets,the commas and full stops.
When we write a letter, we not only put our thoughts, but our heart in it. It shows the other person that we care, that we put that little extra effort of choosing a paper, selecting a pen, spending a little more time on writing, and walking those extra few metres to that post box.
From writing a simple "I love you ''to scribbling exquisite words, and walking that extra mile once. It will be worth it.
"I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. I miss you even more than I could have believed; and I was prepared to miss you a good deal. So this letter is really just a squeal of pain''.
Can a simple emoticon will be able to bring out the emotion portrayed in above line...Na! Never.
Love letters offer a way to maintain and deepen intimacy, no matter which form they take.
Lets look at history and know some love letter phases of great people'.
In literature, we are offered a rare, perhaps singular invitation into such intimate correspondences. Whether the following love letters are artfully penned in a novel, memoir, or the anthologies of long-dead greatsthese vulnerable glimpses into the besotted human-id are all-consuming reads.
Here are some snippets from the love letters they sent to their significant other'.
1. I don't ask you to love me always like this, but I ask you to remember. Somewhere inside of me there will always be the person I am tonight.-- F. Scott Fitzgerald (Author of famous novel The Great Gatsby')
2. I answer one of your letters, then lie in bed in apparent calm, but my heart beats through my entire body and is conscious only of you. I belong to you; there is really no other way of expressing it, and that is not strong enough.-- Franz Kafka (Famous novelist of Trial' and Metamorphosis')
3. I came in at half past eleven. Since then I have been sitting in an easy chair like a fool. I could do nothing. I hear nothing but your voice. I am like a fool hearing you call me Dear.' I offended two men today by leaving them coolly. I wanted to hear your voice, not theirs. When I am with you I leave aside my contemptuous, suspicious nature. I wish I felt your head on my shoulder.-- James Joyce (Famous Modernist Irish novelist)
4. As always, a million heartfelt thanks for bringing such joy into this chick's life. -- Princess Diana
In a world where communications are dominated by the internet, a handwritten letter is more intimate than ever before. Imagining each word as a gentle stroke that touches your lover's soul is a feeling no technology can provide.
You have to trust your lover and yourself enough to put it all out there. Be vulnerable, be honest, and let yourself feel the emotions your words inspire. If you feel them, your partner will too, and that's what makes a handwritten letter pure magic.
