I mean for your partner or someone you were in love with. Such a text could be a letter or a poem. Or any text really. I wrote a love letter when I was around 25, but I got rejected. Now that I've found my beloved, I have written a few texts and poems for and about her. She has a beautiful mix of green and brown in her iris that is only visible in the right light and angle, something I mentioned in one of my texts. What about you? And how was such a text received?
I write poetry about a love I lost when he died. Most of my poetry is about him, actually. When he was alive he always asked me why I didn't write about better subjects, and I'd tell him to hush and turn the page.
Yes. Lots and lots. I always hand write things for them. I keep everything they've ever written to me, too. My (ex)wife's insistence to the contrary notwithstanding, I'm very much a romantic. Just a somewhat unorthodox one.
Most of my writing is novel length fiction - thrillers, mysteries, and science fiction. But at Christmas, our anniversary, and her birthday, I write my wife something romantic in the card which I will make for her.
I write them but usually cannot send them. They are terrifying to look back on; so many alternative presents, if I'd only sent this one, or that one, or not sent this other one.
I've written letters and sweet little poems going back to high school. They were usually for someone I was already involved with, so there were no resulting rejections that I recall. I wrote a handful of letters to my son's mom after we broke up with a baby on the way, but I never sent them. I have several chapters written on a book about that relationship (highly fictionalized, of course,) and I'm going to call it Letters I Never Sent Your Mother.
Love poems... break up poems.... Love texts and break up texts and "other" texts (wink wink)........ all to the same person over the years. Yep.
Yes In first grade show and tell I shared a poem I wrote for my crush. I've written several sweet as well as an occasional nsfw letter/note/text for my husband. For an anniversary I once gave him a list of 101 things I love about him. After we got back together from a long split, I made it a 102 things that I love and gifted it to him framed. It was well received. Many other letters/notes to an ex boyfriend and a few others along the way. They were typically well received except for the show and tell poem lol. Embarrassed the poor fella I did.
i forgot about this part.... the love poems and breakup poems, i never shared with him (but i did share them on my DeviantART channel). the love texts, he thought were sweet (i still send love texts, memes, and gifs that he sends a heart back in response to). I broke up with him via text back in high school... his response was "oh..." when we were dating in college, i thought i would try being sexy for once and sent a lingerie picture. he said "nice!" but then i didnt know how to respond or what to do next so i just.... didnt respond. at all. then was embarrassed by not having responded and what i did and panicked. He is a romantic (more than me). he recited a poem to me in HS (i was embarrassed). he said first via text message that he loved me (I didnt know how to respond). He'd send cute text messages complimenting me or about things he admired/liked about me (i'd think they were sweet... but i just never knew how to respond). yeeeeeeeeah, i was/am an awkward turtle
I shared a story and some people know the real reasons, others not, but that story is for my mum. I lost her 4 years ago and she is one of many reasons why I write. In fact this book I am writing (and the series I have planned) is my dedication to push myself to be better than I am so she can be proud that I am doing my best. I want to publish and know that there are many obstacles ahead, and the chances of 'success' is really low, but that doesn't stop me from writing great stories for others to remember. A writer commented that this book is a 'labour of love' and it is because I'm not writing it for myself. Besides that, I haven't written anything romantic to anyone, received a Valentines card from a random stranger when I was in my final years of secondary school. Had a seedy limerick that confessed their affections to me... I found it more scary than lovely!
