Dear Claire,
“What” and “if” are two words as non-threatening as words can be, but put them together, side by side, and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life.
What if ? What if ? What if ?
I don’t know how your story ended, but if what you feel then was true love, then it’s never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn’t it be true now ? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don’t know what a love like Juliet’s feels like, a love to leave loved ones for, a love to cross oceans for, but I’d like to believe, if I ever were to feel it, that I have the courage to seize it. And, Claire, if you didn’t, I hope one day that you will.
All my love,
Juliet
