"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.
I don't know how your story ended, but if you felt then was 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 foll...ow 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"
Quoted from the move, "Letters to Juliet".
The question that has been miming in my mind - "If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now?". It made me think again, of what I have always been thinking for so many years.
A truth is something which would last forever, something which remains with all the changing myths. It is true, that once a truth is always a truth. That is why we call is as such. Juliet was right. If it was true then, it should be true now too.
Few years back - I mean, since 11 years back - I thought that my love for him was true. I thought it was true enough to make him love me too. Whenever a tear fell down from my eyes, I also had a smile thinking I am crying because of a true love. I had this pride in my head, thinking that I was holding some true love in my heart, that many of others didn't. If it was true then, why shouldn't it be true now? Oh! It's horrible! It isn't true any more....!!!
Then I realise now - may be it was not true then as well. May be it was all fake. May be I was watching too much of movies - that I pretend myself to be some Chandramukhi.
Yes - It was all false. It was just a mistake. Was it? I don't know. But it is not true any more. I do not have any of the feelings for him that I had years ago. I do not have WHAT and IF together anymore, to haunt my mind. I don't have WHAT's any more, neither any IF's.
The truth was that I was to be loved by someone special, and it remains the same. I am to be loved by the special someone - the person who I cherish the most.
Juliet - I have a question for you. What-if the love you had for Romeo was not true? What-if you killed yourself for the wrong person? Give me an answer....

This is my perception of the question you ask at the end...(I anyways have problems with these legendary lovers as u may know now)
I think it is not true as all these other people make it sound it to be...
how could both of them have no faith on it at all, when there are so many of us who have so much faith in these not-so-true love as well?
My idol of love is Edward and Bella...look at that unshakable faith on a monster and that sacrifice of the monster, now that's true love!!!
Very True! I agree 100%
This is the same thing I say. We hold much more true love than thse legendary lovers
