How ironic is it that friends can easily talk about almost anything under the sun but when it comes to matters of the heart, the words just seem to escape us? They say that communication is key to a healthy relationship. Yet we fear that what we say may not be enough or that the pressure of the moment will cause the words to come out differently. So we resort to paper, where supposedly, we can organize our thoughts and review them before we send them out.
The only thing is, communication doesn't only involve words. it needs intent, which facial expressions and intonation can provide. The document may have shown the power of communication in the sense that it had the characters assessing their feelings. But that's simply what it was: a catalyst. The real work is yet to be had.

Letters are sweet. Letters are revealing. But nothing beats looking into the other person's eyes and watching their little gestures -- the twitch of the eyes, the biting of the lips, the pace of their breaths -- reveal more than any set of words can ever say.
