what if

Dear Clarie,

"What" and "If" are two words as non-threathening 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 felt then was true love,

then it's never too late.

If it was true then, why it wouldn't 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'd have the courage to seize it.

And, Clarie, if you didn't,

I hope one day that you will.

 

All my love,

 

Juliet
