To My Love,
Thou were in hie to kill themselves. Why do you do this to me? I will be fain to apologize. I feel so awful about this whole situation, But hark to me! This is all my fault. If i wouldn't of killed Tybalt in anger. This never would of happened. I feel so sirrah!! I'm so sorry. When i come ere God, he would even blame me. Thy name is so beautiful and my face is full of anger, please wake up from your slumber. I shouldn't be able to live. Tomorrow i will go to the Apothecary and buy some poison and drink it. I will kill myself because i cant stand to live without you. Juliet my dear, I love you and can't wait to come see you in Heaven.
You're Dearly Beloved,
Romeo
