PS I love you! I bet you have seen it on the bottom of a letter given to you or maybe you wrote it. It seems just like it is a postscript or an afterthought, doesn't it? A love letter needs to have a little bit more romance than just a PS.

Have you seen the romantic comedy movie with Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank yet? The film, PS I Love You, shows a number of different ways romantic love letters can be used to show love. The very first way did not even feature a letter but was sent using a tape recorder and a special cake to celebrate her birthday.

Looking back over the centuries we know huge numbers of people have spent their time carefully crafting letters of love to their special partner. Have a look at my website LoveLettersCentral.com and see over 125 lovingly romantic letters written by famous and not so famous people. If you consider that letters only a few years would have needed to be written using a quill or feather dipped in ink to scratch the words on to parchment paper. Mistakes would have had to be carefully erased or starting the whole letter all over again. Nowadays we are more likely just to press the delete button on the keyboard. Yet huge numbers of those love letters of yesterday still exist today kept by the recipient possibly tied up in ribbon and carefully saved in a box or draw.

What are you doing to go out of your way to show your special person you love them? Are you prepared to just jot down the words PS I Love You on the end of a short note or email? Or would you like to really make a romantic gesture that will be noticed and remembered? People still keep all their old love letters for years after they received them.

We currently publish over 125 love letters some short, some long, in some cases we only publish extracts if the letters go on for several pages dealing with every day life issues. Each one of them could be taken by you and used in a number of different ways.

For example one visitor to the website took one short letter splitting it into 12 parts and rewrote them to reflect her husband's appearance e.g. his height, the shade and style of his hair, his smile etc. Each part was then placed in consecutively dated envelopes, one for each day of his forthcoming business trip and sealed with a bright red lipstick kiss. His instructions were to look through them each morning and open the appropriately dated one. Over the ten days he would have been building a romantic loving letter from his wife telling him how much she thought of him building up to the final day when he would be returning home to her.

I suspect that just building up her love letter each day he was away that he might have been in a bit of a rush to get home to her particularly if she made the last couple of them just a bit more passionate and explicit then the beginning of the week.

Can you think of any other way you can use a love letter? It need not be written down it could be taped (audio or video) but it should be expressing deep loving romantic feelings from you to someone else. I will set up a special prize for the person who sends me the most novel, the most interesting and/or the most romantic way of saying I love you.

If you submit an entry to YouTube with a link back to our LoveLettersCentral.com website please write and let us know where to find your romantic love letter video so we can see as well as your very special person. Don't forget to let the friends of your special one know about it so they can go and watch it as well. Make them jealous!

Carol.
