| Love Letters Posted: 11/14/2008 8:08:16 PM | ^^^ what was the word mate if you don't mind me asking?
I have a bunch of 'love' letters that were never sent....I start it, actually finish it....then stays with me 'til either the relationship dissolves or until possibilities become mere acquaintances. I kept some that were given me, I couldn't for the life of me throw them out, which would probably bite me in the bum-bum later on. Kinda reminded me of an 'Everybody Loves Raymond' episode, the one where Deb finds an answering machine message tape....
I actually enjoy writing with a good pen, rather than typing it away, in fact still use a fountain pen. Love letters via Microsoft Word take the joy out somewhat. My first love letter was when I was in grade school, for which the recipient promptly handed it in to the Prefect of Discipline, and announced the deed to the whole school. I had to stay back an extra 15 minutes after school for two weeks to collect chalk and erasers from each classroom to put away.
I've only ever sent out one love letter as an adult...and it was under appreciated. Kinda like giving a 1 carat diamond ring to a girl with thousands of the same. I have written a fair few, then folded it away, or tucked in a book or chucked in the wash with my jeans, never to see the light of day or 'til paper acid eventually eats it up. The process must be therapeutic.
The best love 'letters' I find are written on those yellow post-it notes. | |

| Love Letters Posted: 11/15/2008 12:48:28 AM | You lot have been seriously spoiled. The only love letter I've received was a hallmark card. It was what was written inside that made it so special. Also the fact that he had to go to the shop, choose the best one, write in it, find a stamp then find a postbox to send it. I was bowled over and have still kept it even thought the relationship obviously didn't last.
Also, one boyfriend used to pack my lunch for work. Sometimes I found a chocolate with a little note telling me how he had snuck it in there without me seeing. On those days I couldn't wipe the smile off my face or wait to see him again!
I think it's all about the thought - whether it be a post-it note, email, text, crayon on the sidewalk or whatever. | |

That's probably cos of the Love letter I sent her...I reckon she's still running
But seriously, since I've been on here I've received some of the most exquisite poetry and other emails, often from people I have little or no chance of ever meeting, but the simple act of putting together a reply is often a joy and reward in it's own right.
...Now what rhymes with 'You're hot wanna cam?'....hmm, how about 'wham bam, thank you mam!!' | |

| Love Letters Posted: 11/15/2008 8:58:34 AM | For the convenience of sincere romantics everywhere, here is a stock 'Love Letter'. Just delete the non-applicable sections and print it out!
Dear Honey/Baby/Sweetheart/Mistress/Wife/Neighbour
Every minute/second/hour/few days I think of you! My thoughts are consumed by images of your smile/t1ts/huge arse/bank balance, so that I can hardly sleep at night/concentrate on TV/think of you without laughing. At the mere mention of your name I want to be with you/be sick/leave town/jerk off, so you can imagine how difficult it is to live normally/conceal this from my wife/remember to call you.
Don't be angry with me/press charges/show anyone the bruises because you know all great love affairs/sleazy attempts at exploitation go through difficult times! Darling/sweetheart/sugar plum/angel I would trust you with my life/car/to look after my dog/correctly post a letter if only you will be with me/me and a friend/the production crew once more.
You know you'll always live in my heart/groin/comedy routine... and whatever you decide for the future, I'll always think of you with affection/mock you to my friends/be amazed at your stupidity, and call you always my darling/a slut/that nazi-b1tch/grandma.
Yours sincerely/with contempt/on the way to South America (your fake name) (((((((((((((((((((O)))))))))))))))))o((((((((((((((((((O))))))))))))))))))o(((((((((((((((((((O)))))))))))))))))
I know I know, no need to thank me! Good Luck! | |

| Love Letters Posted: 11/15/2008 9:07:11 AM | Recently, I found it necessary to sit and write a not-in-love letter... and this thread has reminded me how difficult it was to pose potentially hurtful words.
A fear that my words may be unclear, contorted upon interpretation into contemptous darts, or percieved as cruel high handedness, hindered the passage of each and every thought into print. And yet, I was compelled not unlike my youthful self, who happily danced among the literal daisies to declare my overflowing heart... to struggle instead, with the painful admission that I could not, would not, enter the joyful two-step that is shared love.
Writing when your heart is singing is so much easier. Yet possibly, not quite as beautiful. For if truth is indeed beauty, one can only focus on bringing that to the fore. | |

| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 2:10:53 AM | I've never written a love letter or received one, but I did pen a rhyme for a Valentine - got rejected. The lady did graciously accept a couple of short get well poems and a bon voyage I wrote some time later, but even they were to no avail despite her recommendation I release a book of my work. One day perhaps. I've got to get back on the session circuit first to get known  | |

| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 2:21:19 AM | | My ex etched my name into a sandstone cliff near our house. He then got me into a row boat and surprised me. | |

Good but........I carved my name into my ex's slappers forehead just before he left me for her. Then I flipped her over and did it the same there as I wasnt sure of her prefered view........do I win???
Aint love grand.
I actually think I would struggle to keep a straight face if faced with a love letter these days...call me cynical but I would immediately think 'What has he done?' or 'Now im gonna have to give out tonight'. | |
|
| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 9:36:56 PM | | Liked your words msg #49 and I too wrote a 'loveless' poem msg 61; currently writing and trying to be original (not repetitive) for 70 days ... taxing to say the least | |
|
| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 9:50:26 PM | There is nothing more powerfull than the written word
remeber back to school days pre mobile phones and the odd letter u were slipped
how ur heart missd a beat
the text message and tecnoligy really has replaced the love letter
hell now its order a condom by text
the mind is a powerfull thing and i would rather read erotica than see porn
all i can say is bring back the love letter
 | |
|
| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 9:55:58 PM | I don't know what the big hassle is....In this day and age if you want to write a love letter don't you just get the mobile phone fired up and send a text saying " want to come over and f#ck me tonight?"
I mean, how much more loving do you want to get? | |
|
| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 9:59:32 PM | lmao Bris

|
| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 10:02:52 PM |
and how is that working for ya??? just curious??
Not real good. I figure they're either illiterate and can't read the message, I didn't use enough "TXT language", or they're being sexy and playing hard to get.....
damn players!!!!....And here I was pouring my heart out | |
|
| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 10:08:49 PM |

|
| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 10:12:44 PM | yes its all in the movement of the finger lol
the quicker it moves , as long as its on the right spot and as little as a mm can change the result yes when texting it is important u hit just the right spot otherwise kiss becomes lips
what happen to the pleasure of writing with a fountain pen and nice paper | |

| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 10:18:10 PM | Does poetry count? I love Calimari rings!
Oh sweet calimari rings I taste you oh so often but never tell the crab sticks their hearts will never soften
I never need chicken salt with tartare sauce so true or a touch of mayonnaise perfection in taste is you
I can't even look at Dory anymore from Lobster I always now turn away after sampling your lovely taste lick my lips about you every day
Salivating dreaming of you do you only show to me your tasty skin and soft inside tasty morsel you surely be
Could it be that your still frozen Could you be in love with marinara She cost twice the price of you you musta been smoked in marijuana
How dare you love another seafood How dare you share yourself lazing with the mussels all day no thought of seafood extenders health
Snuggle in close with Kipper Fillets do oysters make you want to play I live to taste you constantly Your always the catch of the day. | |

| Love Letters Posted: 11/16/2008 10:54:11 PM | What about an anti- love letter?
Im so happy we are over cus you gave me the best moments in life not by being with you but by choosing to not be my wife
I was so confused for months thought my world was going to end it took a long time to realise you are the one that did depend
Depend on me for everything your having to do it on your own and Im having more fun than ever because of the seeds you've sown
I was so dumbstuck when pushed out but now later I need you to thank Im free from all your expectations and your life has drawn a blank
Im having the time of my life I wish I left you years ago but then I wouldn't be loyal me thats why everyone likes me so
When I make a promise I keep it when I make a vow it stays because I am a man of my word I will never change my ways
I stayed with you far too long and all I have met can see that you must be the shallow one cus a genuine guy is me
I don't need to act or posture I just treat others as I did you and they can't believe my strength after the shit you put me through
Knowing I did the best I could and Im a very understanding guy now everyone I know this day knows who lived the lie
Ive met so many people being involved in Plenty of fish and it's not just meeting ladies new mates also answered my wish
My wish was to be happy again to know that I am an good guy when they hear about your antics they can never understand why
Your latest boyfriend shows your lack of growth and maturity he looks like and is a 19 yr old kid half the age of you or me
He is truly a boy in all respects he is your little "boy" friend trying to look mean at me but there is so little against to defend
I don't dare beat him up even with his nasty glare for his face is like a baby takes weeks to grow facial hair
being with him shows you never grew up I left you way way behind Our oldest 2 sons could easily beat him up your still in a childish state of mind
I pissed myself laughing as I mistook him for my second son Aaron would be offended if I told him then little boy would need to run
Aaron or Kyle would flog him I suppose that's why he was chosen so you can stay the control freak and try to keep your age frozen
Coming here denying your age with a profile claiming to be 30 all you did was try to chat up youngens talking so cheap and dirty
Trying to spy on me here jealous as Im having so much fun out and about on bike rides and dinners and drinks of rum
People can't help but like me Im back to living my life true I don't have to be constrained held back by jealous you
I can't help that I am social while you're scared of interactions talking don't mean I want to screw a girl don't judge me by your actions
Hey I woke up thanks to you Ive seen how good life can be instead remembering all your viscious attacks A false existence you have led
You lived a lie while with me pretending to others to be so sweet while putting me down all the time my character you can't defeat
I can't help but feel satisfaction that your selfish plan has failed I have found friends who care while for months you couldn't get nailed
But best of all I found a new life friends who appreciate me for me you were just a protected princess your protector is now running free | |
