Nurse oh Nurse, just tell me what he said?

Oh how I love thee my nurse, but she does seem to annoy me sometimes. If I had waited any longer for her to bring back the news from Romeo I would have gone crazy...the clock was striking nine when I sent the nurse and she promised to back in half an hour. She definitely was not half an hour. Thank God she got to see Romeo and thank God she brought back good news. She had scared me when she said..well, you've made a silly choice. But when she told me to go to Friar Lawrence cell, my heart exploded with happiness! Oh, how everything seems to be working out. Geez, that nurse can get on my nerves when she didn't tell me what was happening but I must say she is a very good nurse! Like my nurse says...Romeo is an honorable, courteous, kind, handsome and no doubt virtuous gentlemen. But I must get going now, I have to go to church. Maybe things are working out better than I thought! Off to good fortune!

Oh, Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?

You know it is dark or you could see me blush because you heard me talking about you. If I followed proper etiquette, I'd deny I ever said it. But who cares about etiquette! Do you love me? Don't say yes unless you really mean it. If you think that I am too easy,  I will play hard to get so you can keep wooing my affections. The truth is I am foolishly in love with you, and you might not take me seriously. But trust me, and I will prove myself to be more faithful than those who know how to play hard to get. I would have been more distant I must confess, but since you allude overheard me confess my love for you, there is not point to be.

Why must you be Romeo? Why must I be a Capulet and why must he be a Montague. It comes to find me....but will I always be able to see him. If the kinsmen find thee here he will be killed. Not only is my one true love my families enemy but now I cant even see him without the risk of him being killed. I know he is the one as even when he was hiding I could recognize his voice even though I haven't heard it one hundred times.  

He is such a gentleman that he swore that if he could just write his name on a piece of paper and rip it up, so he could never be called a Montague again, he would. As it does not matter to him as I am his one true love. If only that was true. Oh I really do love him...why do things have to be so complicated.

We have swore that we would meet again the next day, at the same place to get married. I told him that if your object is marriage, send me a work tomorrow  (I will arrange a messenger) where and when you'll go through the ceremony. I wonder if he would really agree to this...oh I hope he does. Will everything go to plan? Will I be married to my one true love tomorrow?

My only love sprung from my only hate!

Why oh why does my true love have to be my only enemy. Oh Romeo why did I have to meet you tonight. He is kind and gentle...oh why does this have to be. When I first saw him it was like it was meant to be. Behind that mask was true beauty and I fell in love with that face from the moment I saw it. Will this love be dammed because he is a Montague. It was too early seen unknown, and known too late. Will these feelings stay or will they fade away.

He was sweet and kissed as if it was two holy praying hands....he wanted to let lips do what hands do. Now that I know you are a Capulet my life can never be complete. How disastrous that my first true love be my only enemy...my only love sprung from my only hate.   Maybe it will work out, maybe this could help the feud between the families but this is only if I see him again. Oh I do hope I do.... . It was meant to be..or maybe it wasn't. Oh why must I love a loathed enemy. 

My heart starts racing when I hear my love Romeo's name. Butterflies roam in my stomach when I recall the memories. His lips so gentle and his eyes as blue as the deep ocean.

Marriage awaits me..

I can't believe my mother has even brought up the topic of marriage! I'm 14 in a fortnight and mother is already thinking about marriage? The topic of marriage has never really crossed my mind. It's an honor I don't dream about.... She tells me that a young man, Paris, wants to ask my hand in marriage. What happens if I do not like this man? What if we're completely different? Will marriage still await me with a man I do not love...?

If I do actually like this man, I guess I will marry him... if looking leads to liking, but if I do not, I will not commit myself to a future with someone with whom I am not in love with.  Really, I only want to make my nurse happy and she wishes to see me married. She's overjoyed at the idea that a man wants to marry me! I do not wish to disappoint her. I hope this man, Paris, is someone I can love; someone who I can spend my life with. I've heard of him once, now I am off to meet him tonight. Will my eyes be pleasantly surprised...?

I know that girls my age are already mothers, but I do not want to be like that. I want to marry someone I love; not someone I am forced to or have to grow to love. But like I said, I do not want to disappoint my parents and my nurse. Maybe Paris is a great young man, and that when our eyes meet, I will instantly fall in love. Oh, I do hope this is the case. Well, the guests have arrived and Paris awaits for my arrival. I do hope this is one happy night...
