Have you seen "PS I Love You" yet?

by Carol Thornton

PS I love you! Probably the most common words found in letters between lovers whether married or not. However, I would not say that qualified the letter to be a romantic love letter, would you?

The new romantic comedy film starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler shows a number of ways romantic love letters can be sent. That very first Love Letter bearing those "PS I Love You" words received a month after the writer's death was not even written - it was a 30th Birthday cake and a tape recording.

Yet if we look back at history we see large numbers of people who have gone out of their way to do just that. Many of the love letters I publish on my LoveLettersCentral.com website would have been written prior to word-processing some even before the fountain pen and writing was done by dipping a sharpened birds feather into a pot of ink. A long and laborious method of writing a lengthy love letter but they wanted to show their love.

What are you doing to go out of your way to show your special person you love them? Are you prepared to just jot down the words PS I Love You on the end of a short note or email? Or would you like to really make a romantic gesture that will be noticed and remembered? People still keep all their old love letters for years after they received them.

You will find 125 romantic love letters on the LoveLettersCentral.com which can used by yourself to write or compose a romantic note. Each one of the love letters can be adapted to suit your circumstances just change a few words as appropriate.

Did you know that one of my readers took a love letter straight off the site rewrote parts of it to include the color of her boyfriend's eyes, his warm cuddly and muscular arms etc and then wrote it out with one sentence on each of 10 sheets of paper. She then put them into separate envelopes with dates on them and handed them to her husband just as he was about to leave on a 10 day business trip with instructions to open each envelope only on the day marked on the outside. You can guess how much pleasure her husband had in getting that love letter each day and piecing it all together just before travelling back home to her.

I suspect that just building up her love letter each day he was away that he might have been in a bit of a rush to get home to her particularly if she made the last couple of them just a bit more passionate and explicit then the beginning of the week.

Can you think of any other way you can use a love letter? It need not be written down it could be taped (audio or video) but it should be expressing deep loving romantic feelings from you to someone else. I will set up a special prize for the person who sends me the most novel, the most interesting and/or the most romantic way of saying I love you.

Just to make it special we want to offer a very special prize to the very best romantic love gesture uploaded to YouTube. Don't forget to link it to our LoveLettersCentral.com website and write to let us know how to find it. Make sure your friend knows about as well and let their friends know so they will be envious that no one did it for them.

We obviously want to use the very best entries received on our website and by entering you show you are giving permission to do so.
