Letter from Napoleon Bonaparte to Joséphine de Beauharnais

“Since I left you, I have been constantly depressed. My happiness is to be near you. Incessantly I live over in my memory your caresses, your tears, your affectionate solicitude. The charms of the incomparable Josephine kindle continually a burning and a glowing flame in my heart. When, free from all solicitude, all harassing care, shall I be able to pass all my time with you, having only to love you, and to think only of the happiness of so saying, and of proving it to you?”

Letter from Beethoven to his "Immortal Beloved"

“Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, Be calm–love me–today–yesterday–what tearful longings for you–you–you–my life–my all–farewell. Oh continue to love me–never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. 

Ever thine. 

Ever mine. 

Ever ours.”

Letter from Johnny Cash to June Carter Cash

“We get old and get use to each other. We think alike. We read each others minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted. But once in awhile, like today, I meditate on it and realise how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met. You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You’re the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much.”

Letter from Vadimir Nabokov to his future wife Vera (1923.)

“I swear to everything that is dear to me, everything that I believe in - I swear that the way I love you, I never had to love - with such tenderness - to tears - and with such a feeling of shining.

[...] And most of all I want you to be happy, and it seems to me that I could give you this happiness - happiness is sunny, simple - and not quite ordinary.

[...] I love you, I want you, I need you unbearably ... Your eyes - which shine so wonderfully when, leaning back, you tell something funny, - your eyes, your voice, your lips, your shoulders are light, sunny ... "

Letter from Ernest Hemingway to Marlene Dietrich

“I can't say how every time I ever put my arms around you I felt that Iwas home”

Letter from Alexander Pushkin to Natalia Goncharova (1830 y.)

“Today is the anniversary of the day I first saw you. The more I think, the more I am convinced that my existence cannot be separated from yours: I was created to love and follow you; all my other worries - one delusion and madness. Far away from you I am constantly haunted by regret about the happiness that I did not have time to enjoy. Sooner or later I will leave everything and fall at your feet. There I will be able to wander around your house, meet you, follow you…”

Letter from Winston Churchill to his wife Clementine

“My darling Clemmie, in your letter from Madras you wrote some words very dear to me, about having enriched your life. I cannot tell you what pleasure this gave me, because I always feel so overwhelmingly in your debt, if there can be accounts in love…What it has been to me to live all these years in your heart and companionship no phrases can convey.”

Letter from Richard Burton to Elizabeth Taylor

“My blind eyes are desperately waiting for the sight of you. You don’t realize of course, E.B., how fascinatingly beautiful you have always been, and how strangely you have acquired an added and special and dangerous loveliness.”

Letter from Frida Kahlo to his lover

I don't know how to write love letters. But I want to say that my whole being is open to you. Since I fell in love with you, everything has changed and filled with beauty ... Love is like a scent, like an electric shock, like rain. You know, my sky, you, like rain, pour down on me, and I, like the earth, absorb you. "

Letter from Noah to Allie (from movie "The Notebook")

“My Dearest Allie. I couldn’t sleep last night because I know that it’s over between us. I’m not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I’ll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I’d hoped to give to you forever. I love you. I’ll be seeing you. Noah.”

We hope that these beautiful letters inspired you to write a beautiful and very romantic letter to your loved one, because as the famous Latvian writer Imants Ziedonis once said:

"Don't live without love ..."
