What do you do with old love letters?

A hypothetical: You pull from the attic a small box of mementos from long ago. Among the contents are 20 or so handwritten letters from your first love, written during a summer of separation 30 years ago. You begin to read. The affirmations are grandiose and repetitive, yet the letters are also tender and personal.
Are these reminders of a long ago love nothing more than sentimental artifacts to you. Or are they more meaningful than that? Do you shred them or do you keep them, and why?
