Burst Love Letters

Having completed the beginning and the body of your love letter, now you must make your conclusions, or end your love letter. And believe it or not, this can be difficult, because you want to choose the best words possible. Since you have spent the time, and taken the effort to write your feelings down, it would be rather inadequate to end by writing "From John" or "Sincerely Yours". How you end your love letter must be as tender and as expressive as how you started it. Let us take a look at how to end a love letter.

You do not want your ending to be lengthy. It is not another paragraph in your letter. At the same time, you want to say something unforgettable, something that leaves an impression in the recipient's mind. It might even provoke excitement, in the sense of waiting for something to happen, as if you have already decided to go to a special event together. The ending of your letter should be like a trailing veil. It flows lightly behind, causing all to wonder when it will end. Your ending words should be similar. They will linger with the recipient for years to come. And, if you two should spend the rest of your lives together, the words will be cherished, and even recited for many years to come. Once your children are born, they might even hear the words from you, or read the letters for themselves.

Further, you want the recipient to anticipate or "wait on baited breath", as the expression goes. Also, before you actually write the closing and final words, the part that is your signature in fact, try to actually conclude the letter with a short phrase. Perhaps, you might say something like "I have finally written what I so long wanted to say in person" or "I am so happy I finally wrote how I feel". Just make sure that you do no include any negative remarks. Again, this is a love letter, and the feeling that the recipient should take away is one of joy and happiness, not doubt and sadness.

Here are some examples of how you might end your letter:

• I will treasure your beautiful smile forever, my love, John
• I cannot wait until I see you at the park on Sunday, always my love, Mary

If you cannot think of something sugary to say, because you are undoubtedly uncomfortable with such honesty, look in some books or search online for samples. But, make sure what you use corresponds with what you said. The final words should be appropriate and should work nicely with the rest of your letter. Please note that we are not encouraging you to copy other authors and claim the words to be yours. If you use passages from other people, be sure to credit them. It is very easy to do so by adding the words, "as so and so said" or by putting the verse in quotes with the author's name underneath.

Lastly, when you have finished writing your love letter, fold it neatly before placing it into the matching envelope. The paper should have a nice crease in the middle if using smaller sheets, or two creases for large sheets. And, do not fold it crooked, then try to fix it, as you will only leave an unsightly mess of lines on the papers. Once you have enclosed your letter, you might want to choose a fancy stamp from the post office. You might also have a few seals to place on the back of the envelope.
