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 felt 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
– love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for –
but I’d like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it.
And, Claire, if you didn’t, I hope one day that you will.
All my love, Juliet

Doubt thou stars are fire
Doubt that the sun doth move
Doubt truth be a liar
But never doubt I love
