105 Romantic Messages to Keep the Love Alive While You're Apart

These romantic love messages are sure to woo your partner.

When you can't physically be with your partner — whether that's because you're doing long distance, traveling solo, or just spending a few days apart — it's important to let them know that you're thinking of them by sending a thoughtful and romantic love message. Near, far, wherever you are, it's nice to remind your special someone just how much they mean to you. If you're wondering how to write a love letter or simply looking for a romantic text to send while apart, we've got you covered with these sweet messages and quotes. And once you reunite, why not plan a romantic getaway to celebrate your relationship?

When you're crafting your love message, remember that it doesn't have to follow a dated definition of what a relationship is — you know your partner well enough to get deeper than complimenting their looks.

Truly romantic love messages should show your partner just how you feel. Below, we've suggested prompts for "love letters for him" and "love letters for her," but if the former speaks more to your lady love's strengths, use it for her. Whatever the reason for showing your partner some affection (and to be clear, you never need a reason), here are 105 romantic love messages that will help you write a love letter for him or her, or just send a short and sweet text.
