To the lady I love, I am writing to you this letter to try and help you understand the situation that was happening that hindered me to be committed to you while you had needed me so much and sacrificed also for me. I am very sure that I was your first love and that it meant everything to you....
To A Woman I Secretly Love, I have realized several things that I want to write down on this paper so that you will know them and never forget them. I have fallen in love with that strong, real and intelligent woman that you are. I have realized that I didn't know true joy until the moment ...
Dear person I Hurt, It’s been a long time since we’ve spoken now. I take the blame for that. I was dead wrong for what I did to you. I do not want to make any excuses for my terrible behavior, but I am a totally different person now. The person you knew was deep in the throws of heroin addicti...
I miss us more than I miss you. I miss you so much. I know you miss me too, maybe not the exact same amount but very close. I know it. I wish I could have a conversation with you without having to talk about what happened. Just talk about video games or watch a movie and talk about it just how...
Dear Friend, I’m sorry it came to this, but all friendships have to come to an end. We’ve been so close for five years now, and I’m hoping this could be more than an end. A beginning. A beginning of something more than a friendship, a relationship. You know, girlfriend and girlfriend. I und...
The Moon and Back Many people say, "I'll love you to the moon and back." But if that were true for the love I have for you, then I'd probably have to go to the moon an infinite amount of times. My love for you could never be a simple trip to the moon. To love you is to love your favorite jea...
Dear, The sky is quite gloomy yet there is no sign that it will rain soon. I could feel the breezy air that sometimes tickled my spine, and I realized, yes, it's February. With this beautiful temperature that feels like summer in Italy. All of a sudden, flowers are blooming gorgeously, surpris...
To My Dear Husband, My Kindred Spirit, How I miss you! You left this earth 4.5 years ago. I don't think I will ever get over the loss of you, my best friend. I often think of that horrendous time that you picked up the alcohol, after 19 years of sobriety. I feel guilty that I didn't stop my f...
To a woman I hurt, Hard to believe it’s been over 10 years since you reached out and many more since I’ve seen you. I still think about you from time to time… how smart and beautiful you are, about all of our common interests. I think about when we were kids going out for Chinese or playing vi...
To My Lover, Sorry babe for that matter that happened in front of your dad. I didn't expect that really. I just tried to show my love to you. I didn't notice your dad. I really worried after that incident was the main reason for your home arrest. Just now I know that you are allowed to come outsi...
Dear Father, Thank you for bringing us to St. Joe safely. My mind reels with what it is telling me to do Dad. I need not listen but I feel hopeless right now and long for peace. Don’t get too far away from me. Barb is so passive aggressive and at times very difficult to be around. She has a he...
But, Ollie Bug, I got him okay? I got your bubby. I will hug him twice as much for you & me. I love him to the moon & back just like I love you. FUCKING FOREVER! I will love you both. I am really good at living, always have been. Pretending I got this. I DON'T GOT THIS! Not lo...
To My Love, Now A Stranger, I miss you so much. I miss being with you. I miss us. Now it’s just a memory. I ask myself why? How could you move on and I’m still holding on? It’s been 2 months now. Why am I still in pain losing you? You left me without enough explanation. I thought we connected ...
Dear Love, I am 42 years old and you still have not found me and if you did find me, can you please tell me when you came around into my life and I will slap myself. Here I am writing a letter to you but you have never written a letter to me. You have never sent me flowers or bought me any can...
My Dearest, I’m still grieving. Still grieving from the loss. Still adjusting. I wish we talked things through. I miss talking to you. Days are not the same, nights are not the same without you. Still you gave up so easily and here I am still holding on. With you, I felt showing my vulnerabili...
Dear Friend, Former Crush (mutual) Damn, I wish I had just remained a mystery to you and I'm sure you feel the same. I wish I hadn't been so eager to talk to you that day I hadn't seen you in almost 2 years. Wish we had not exchanged phone numbers or that I texted you a month later. All I said...
To An Old Friend, It has been years since we spoke, but I still think about you every day. I hate that our friendship ended, and I wish we could go back to the way it was in high school again, but I know it probably cannot. Is this just because we grew up and grew apart or for other reasons? I he...
Dear Mom, I know it has been 14 years, but I'm sorry for running away from home. At the time I could only think about myself and I know the situation was really hard on you as well. I wish I had stayed and gotten to know my step-siblings, maybe we could have been friends. I thought about you a lo...
Dear Husband, What has happened to us? How did we get here? Things have changed so much between us. When we met you said you were going to marry me even when I doubted it. You were all about me at that time. You made me feel beautiful. You made me feel loved. We had beautiful children together. Y...
To My Old Partner, It’s been several years now since we stopped working together, but I still find myself thinking about you all the time. It’s funny, it’s an old movie cliché, man and women get together, they butt heads at first, but then they become close. Then one day one of them dramatically ...
To a Friend I Miss, It sure has been a while since we last spoke and I know it wasn’t exactly on good terms, but I wanted to write to let you know I’ve missed you! We spent just about all of our younger years being best friends and while we’ve also had our share of bad times, there were way more ...
To My Darling Ex, It has now been four months since you completely broke my heart. Not a day goes by I don’t think of you and wonder what you’re doing and do you think of me? I just wish I knew what I did so wrong? And how you can tell me you love me in the most romantic of ways, only to turn aro...
Dear Magical Woman, I don’t know if these words will ever find you, but I’ll let the Universe figure that out. It’s been a long time since we first met back in school. I remember the first time I saw you. You were the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen and that made me really shy. The most beautif...
Dear Best Friend, I’m writing this to you to express what I’ve been feeling about you and us. We’ve known each other for five years and you’ve been there for me most of the time. It’s becoming obvious I can’t deny my feelings for you. I like you. We enjoy each other's company. Sometimes I wonder,...
Dear Ex, I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing you to inform you that you have been on my mind for a while. And I want to know how you are. I cannot help but reminisce about old times and I have been thinking about you a lot as of late. You’ve been on my mind ever since you showed up at my friend...
Dear Ex-Girlfriend, not a month goes by that I don’t think about the way things ended. That day in February was bitter cold when you called me. I was in bed, hungover, and just feeling lousy about myself and life. I hated who I had become at that point. I was drinking again every day, and you wer...
Dear Friend, I know it’s been a while since we’ve talked, and that is partially my fault. I know after we broke up I lashed out at you and I feel guilty and ashamed about the behavior. I was just so very much in love with you and I was planning my future around you. I never told you or anyone els...
Hey There Lover, here you and I are, sharing a page. I wish we could share a hug again but you were so very dead by now. When you died you asked for me, and I couldn’t be there and I am so so sorry. I didn’t get to be there. Most nights I’m up and often I think of you until it’s too late to sleep...
To The Girl I Loved In College, I never told you this or anyone for that matter, but I think I like girls. Specifically, I like you. I know that you’ve asked me before if I had had feelings for women, and I’ve always lied and said no. But I only did that because you’re the only woman I have felt ...
Hi, I miss you. I think I may be in love with you. Me, a wife and a mother, a part of an altogether different family, am in love with you, a husband and father of another family. You will never find stories like this, will you? Or movies? No. How can it be? For such a love story to be palatable t...
My Dear Honey, I'm so sorry for all those years ago. I know it hurt but I didn't know what else to do. It happened at a dark time, and you weren't helping either. I still think about doing that again. You've pushed me to that point so many times. Several times a year, and I just can't take it. I ...
Dear Friend, I am sorry I have kept this from you our whole friendship. I have been hiding my true feelings for another man since we were in 5th grade. It was an embarrassing secret that I thought would be better left unsaid, but it seems like the time to come out is now. We used to play together...
Dear Friend, It's been a while since we last spoke. I hope all is well with you and the family. I do know it hasn't been easy during this period of corona which has hit the world for more than five months now. I write you this letter to also share my experiences of my struggle with the coronaviru...

Hi You, I can't believe it's already nearing August. Being "homebound" for so many months sure does weird things to time. COVID has ruined so many plans, & now we found out that Dad has cancer. I'm so sad that we had to cancel our trip in June. I haven't seen either of my parents since December. ...
To My Math and Physics Teacher, When I first stepped into your room, I feared you. I feared that you wouldn't like me because I wasn't good at math. I feared you because I thought you'd get mad at me for not paying attention. I feared you the most because I thought you'd be like those teacher...
Dear Grandfather, Even though you are gone, I wanted to spend a few minutes to thank you for all the love and selfless devotion you gave me for so many years. Since my father was never around, you became our surrogate, and now I realize that you were, in all important ways, my father. I rememb...
How are you doing? I hope you are fine. I'm thinking about you all the time. Not a day passes by without you in my mind. But, I'm not worried sick about you like I used to anymore, because I know you can take care of yourself, and because you got a new man taking care of you now, right? I wonder ...
Dear Man I Admire, Ever since the day I met you, I imagined a life of peace and bliss that only you would be able to give me. I imagined that your caring and happy personality would bring light in my life and hopefully turn my life around. Night after night, I find that we connected even mo...
My Dear Dad, You are the person I admire most in the world. When Mom left us at an early age, you were the one who took care of me and you were both father and mother to me. I have hurt you many times, but you have never given up your responsibility. The biggest mistake I made is my life was t...
TO MY BELOVED LATE HUSBAND, LAST WEEK WAS TWO YEARS SINCE I LOST YOU. CONTINUING ON WITH LIFE WITHOUT YOU HAS BEEN SO DIFFICULT AND SO PAINFUL. FREQUENTLY I SEE OR HEAR SOMETHING THAT REMINDS ME OF YOU, AND ALL I CAN DO IS BURST INTO TEARS. I STILL YEARN TO ONCE AGAIN HAVE YOU HERE WITH ME. T...
