Letter to Juliet

Today may very well mark one of the most unforgettable days of my life. However, it didn't quite start that way. The morning began as heartbreaking as I could bear. When the flawless Rosaline shared her feelings with me, my heart sunk to my stomach. She was determined to conceal her beauty by becoming a nun, remaining barren for the rest of her life. Instantly, I was filled with absolute devastation. I couldn't understand why she didn't want my love. Inconsolable, I began locking myself in my own room, roaming the garden in sadness, and ignoring both my friends and family.

As if that wasn't awful enough, yet another quarrel had broken out between my friends and the Capulets this morning.

I didn't want to know much about it though - the last thing I needed was another troubling incident to worry about. Later on in this eventful day, my cousin Benvolio and I discovered that Lord Capulet was having a masquerade ball that evening, and Rosaline was going to be there.

It didn't come as a surprise when Benvolio tried to convince me to go to the ball, thinking that in doing so, I would realize that Rosaline was not anything special after comparing her to the other beautiful women. I wasn't too fond of Benvolio's idea at first, but if I hadn't went to the ball, I would not have met the most beautiful women in the world, Juliet! From the moment I saw her face, I knew that Juliet was the love of my life, and I longed to call her mine.

A goddess among women, Juliet had stolen my heart, and I pray that she never returns it. I will never forget the feeling of her soft hands nestled in mine, and the warm and embracing emotion that even the slightest gaze into her eyes brought. Each time we touched, my heart leaped into my throat, and passion flared as we kissed. I may not remember the meaningless words we exchanged, but the sound of her sweet voice and the feel of her gentle lips locked on mine will be embedded into my heart forever. As the wondrous night passed, we kissed again and the world was left behind us. When the ball came to an end, I didn't want to leave. I just couldn't bear with the idea of departing from my love. As we traveled back home, I quietly snuck away from my friends, who still did not know of my newborn love. Minutes later, I found myself in a garden, overlooked by Juliet's balcony. I hid behind a bush as Juliet stepped outside, and told the night of her deep love for me.

After all of the devastation that Rosaline brought, what a joyous relief it was to finally discover a woman who loved me as much as I loved her! Enjoying what I had heard, I revealed myself to Juliet. Passionately, she asked me to seal our love through marriage. We have decided to marry in secret tomorrow. I cannot wait even a night, but I must be sensible. Because of the ongoing Capulet-Montague rivalry, I know that our marriage may bring troubles. Despite the tension, I am hopeful that mine and Juliet's unbreakable connection can strengthen the bond between our families. I will wait for tomorrow, and strive to make the best of what is to come. Oh dear goddess of Love, smile upon my love for Juliet. With all my heart I pray, bring us only joy and good fortune, because nothing can destroy the connection that we share.
