What - if ?

"'What' and ‘if’, two words as nonthreatening as words come. But put them together, side-by-side, and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: ‘What if?'...

I don't know how your story ended. But I know that if what you felt then was love - 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 that feels like... a love to leave loved ones for, a love to cross oceans for... but I'd like to believe if I´d ever felt it, I've had the courage to seize it. I hope you had the courage to seize it, Claire. And if you didn't, I hope that one day you will."

All my love,

Juliet
