Love letter in your own voice, built from your real memories
You know how you feel, but on the page it comes out stiff or too much like a card. This prompt has your todo.is agent turn your own memories, inside jokes and small details into a love letter that sounds like you, for an anniversary, a long-distance stretch or just a Tuesday.
The prompt
- Help me write a love letter to [PARTNER NAME]. We have been together [HOW LONG] and the occasion is [OCCASION]. Use these real details: [3 TO 5 MEMORIES, HABITS OR INSIDE JOKES]. What I love most about them: [WHAT YOU LOVE]. My style is [YOUR STYLE], so keep it in that voice and avoid clichés and over-the-top poetry. About 250 to 350 words. Give me the letter as a nicely formatted PDF I can print, plus a short 3-sentence version for a card or a text.
What to change
- [PARTNER NAME]: Their name or what you call them, e.g. "Jules".
- [HOW LONG]: E.g. "seven years", "four months".
- [OCCASION]: E.g. "our 5th anniversary", "Valentine's Day", "they are away for work", "no reason".
- [3 TO 5 MEMORIES, HABITS OR INSIDE JOKES]: Real things, e.g. "our first date in the rain at the night market", "how you sing to the cat", "the burnt pancakes".
- [WHAT YOU LOVE]: E.g. "how calm you make me feel", "your laugh", "how you never give up on people".
- [YOUR STYLE]: E.g. "funny and a bit shy", "romantic", "simple and direct", "a bit nerdy".
Example result
- Love letter
- Jules,
- Five years ago tonight we were standing under a broken umbrella at the night market, soaked, sharing the worst noodles in the city. You laughed so hard you dropped your chopsticks in a puddle, and I remember thinking: oh no, I am in trouble.
- I was right.
- I love the way you sing to the cat when you think nobody is listening. I love that you still make Sunday pancakes even though you burn the first one every single time, and that you eat that one yourself so I get the good ones. I love that you remember the names of my colleagues' kids. I love how quiet the world gets when you are next to me.
- This year was not easy. When work fell apart in the spring, you did not try to fix it. You just sat with me on the kitchen floor and said, "We will figure it out." And we did. That is the thing about you: you make hard things feel survivable and ordinary days feel like something worth remembering.
- I do not say it enough, because I am better at making coffee than making speeches. So here it is in writing, where you can keep it: you are my favorite person. Thank you for five years of rain, pancakes and kitchen floors.
- Here is to the next fifty. I will bring a better umbrella.
- All my love,
- Alex
- Card or text version
- Five years since the broken umbrella and the worst noodles in the city. You still make every ordinary day feel worth remembering. Happy anniversary, my favorite person.
- Why it works
- • It starts with a scene, not "I love you"
- • Small, specific details instead of big promises
- • One honest moment from a hard time
- • It ends with a callback to the first memory

Tips for a better result
- Small details beat big words. "You burn the first pancake" says more than "you are perfect".
- Start with a scene from a memory, then say what it means to you.
- Mention one hard moment you got through together. It makes the letter feel real.
- Handwrite it if you can. Use the draft as your guide and change words as you go.
- Your agent keeps your notes in your own workspace. Ask it to remember the date and remind you next year.
love letter: FAQ
- How do you start a love letter? Start with a specific memory or moment, like where you met or a small habit you love. It draws the reader in more than a general "I love you".
- How long should a love letter be? One page is plenty, about 200 to 400 words. A short, honest letter usually means more than a long one.
- Is it OK to use AI to write a love letter? The feelings and memories are yours. Your agent only helps you put them in order, so edit it until every line sounds like you.
- What should I avoid in a love letter? Clichés, copied poems, comparisons with exes and promises you cannot keep. Stay specific and sincere.
