love letters
Sweetheart's written confessions
Love letters are written expressions of romantic affection, typically private correspondence between lovers or would-be lovers.
The form suggests intimacy and deliberation—thoughts composed rather than spoken.
She kept his love letters in a ribbon-tied bundle.
The phrase can describe any passionate written appeal: His resignation was a love letter to the industry he was leaving.
