Studies have actually linked the two, suggesting handwriting leads to better recall and recognition of past experiences. Below, we've come up with a few different things for you to say to the special guy in your life, from ways to make up after a fight to something a little more spicy. Of course, not everyone likes to do things by hand, so feel free to deliver these messages online, in person, or in any way you see fit!

What does it mean to find the one? Is it having someone who understands your deepest fears, and your wildest dreams; someone who is entirely and forever committed to providing you with a happy and blessed life? If so, then it must be you.
In return, I'll make you this promise: I will love you fiercely and unconditionally for the rest of my life. I will be there for your highs and your lows; during your triumphs, and your challenges. I will be there holding your hand throughout it all.
I also need to thank you for being such a supportive partner, for filling my days with laughter, and for making sure I fall asleep with nothing but peace and love in my heart. My life today feels like a fairy tale, and I owe it all to you; my one and only Prince Charming.
Forever yours,

I'm sitting here now, gripping this pen, hoping it helps me make sense of my feelings for you. Of all the people in the world, you are the only one who could ever possess me to sit down and actually write a love letter. Maybe it's nostalgia? Or maybe, it's love?
Really, though. You have been such a blessing in my life. I can't even imagine where I would be had we not met. Your love has become such an important staple in my life; guiding me in my darkest hours, always bringing me back towards the light. For that, I thank you.

But no matter what obstacles we may face, I know we'll always find our way back to one another, singing in perfect harmony, and dancing to the same music.
I miss the warmth of your embrace, the sound of your laughter, and the comfort of your presence. So let's put an end to the fighting.

4. The Most Amazing Boyfriend
[His name],
You have the most amazing ability to make everything shine. Whether it involves elaborate planning or something much simpler, you know exactly how to turn the mundane into magic; the ordinary into the extraordinary. That is all to say, you have filled me with so much joy that I feel as if things may start to overflow.
And it's not just about what you do. Your presence alone brings light to my world, filling it with happiness, laughter, and an abundance of love.
Of course, there's something else, something very special that makes you the most amazing boyfriend in the world, and it revolves around the way you see me. You love me for who I am, for all my flaws, and for all my potential.
Your acceptance and understanding have transformed my world, creating a space where I can be vulnerable and authentic. I'm not sure you understand just how special that is. Some people spend their entire lives searching for that kind of love. I'm lucky to have found it sooner than most.
Hugs and Kisses,

5. Soulmates
[His name],
You aren't just my boyfriend, you're my soulmate. We have such a happy and cheerful life together, and I'll never get over how much love you've shown me over the years. Often, I find myself counting all of what I love about you, so much so that I've decided to put it down on paper. It's a long list, to be sure, so I'll list just a few reasons below...
- You are my dearest friend; a loyal and fierce companion that I can always depend on.
- You have the most magical smile. You're always happy to show it off and share it with the entire world.
- You let me keep your favorite t-shirt. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it means the world to me.
- You are a frighteningly handsome man. Seriously, it scares me how attracted to you I am.
- You're not just my greatest admirer, you're also my greatest protector. I get to navigate my way around this world, chasing my dreams, knowing that not a hair on my head will be harmed in the process—not with you around, at least.
Maybe it was luck that brought such an amazing man into my life, or maybe it was something else. All I know is that you're the first person I fell in love with and you'll be the last person I ever love. You are the missing piece to my puzzle; the one who understands me in ways no one else ever could. With you, I feel accepted, cherished, and loved unconditionally.
Love,

We may be far apart, but no distance could dampen the love I feel for you. Time only strengthens my affection and appreciation for who you are. Doing things long distance isn't always easy, but it's more than manageable when anchored by a love like ours.
Even when we're apart, my thoughts are always with you. When I'm feeling sad, I can simply dive into any one of the million memories we share. Having such a colorful inventory is really such a gift.
I want you to know that I'm here for you, supporting you every step of the way. And remember, the distance is temporary. I believe in you and I believe in us.
Forever yours,

How to Write a Great Love Letter
A romantic love letter doesn't just materialize out of nowhere. It takes time and focus, but that doesn't mean you can't produce one yourself—no matter where you fall on the writing spectrum. But if you're still feeling insecure about your skills, be sure to keep reading below. We've listed a few tips to help you get started.
Just start writing.
Even great writers have to start somewhere. Setting out, knowing that what you're about to create is nothing more than a "first draft," really helps take the pressure off. Besides, it takes a little time to find your flow. The more you get down on paper, the more direction you'll develop.
Maintain some focus.
Love letters don't have to be about anything in particular, but it is nice to have some focus. Plus, throwing a little praise at someone for being there, doing this, or saying that is a great way to reinforce the behavior—especially if it's something you'd like to see more of.
Review what you have.
Whether it's an academic assignment or a love letter to the man you love, proofreading is important. Not only does this allow you to add or elaborate on any point you want to address, but it also shows them that you've really put some effort into this. Will he still love a letter ridden with errors? Sure. It just might not be something he revisits all that often.
Sign off accordingly.
Wrapping up a short, sweet love letter isn't easy, but it has to happen eventually. Don't feel like you need to create a super lengthy conclusion. Just end it with something simple and sweet, and sign off in a way that's unique to your relationship. Does he have a special nickname for you? Great, that's what you can use in your closer.
