What and 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 it 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
ever felt it. I'd have the courage
to seize it. I hope you had the
courage to seize it. And if
you didn't, I hope one day that you
will.
