Love Letters

Having loved and lost, some things are never the same again, not the music you listen to and not the meaning it holds. 
Meet Matt and Joanne who fell in love when they were young and assumed their lives would intertwine forever. However, sometimes forever isn’t as long as it should be.  So it was for these two – together all the way through university, separated when Joanne was offered a job overseas, they decided it was better to separate than try long distance – they parted ways and life moved on. 
Years later a friend request stirs the waters of memory sending Jane to search for the box of love letters and old diaries that recorded their relationship. Should she accept the friend request and what will happen if she does?
