If I am the director, I would put these two characters still at on one stage after they exchange their love and devotion at the balcony, and let them perform their dairies in a monologue form. So, Romeo would be at the left side of the stage, and Juliet stands at the right side. They would be saying their diaries one by one, and filled with their feelings. Thus, the audience can more effectively know their minds and make a contrast.
Romeo:
Dear Diary,
I am still buried in such unexpected happiness so deep. I meet an angelic girl today. I would not say that I know what is love till this might. Her name is Juliet. She is just extremely loving. I must have been drunk, and enchanted by her snowy skin, her charming eyes, her cute nose, her soft lips. I have never saw true beauty till I met her. No matter how many difficulties preventing us from being together, I am willing to devote everything to her. I can get rid of my stupid name and my Montague's identity. There is nothing can stop our true love. Oh, my Juliet, my love Juliet, you won't know how willingly would I spend my whole life with you! Good night, my girl.
Juliet:
Dear Diary,
I still cannot believe what happened today. I meet a brilliant boy at the ball, and I just unbelievably fall in love with him. His name is Romeo. He has youthful sparkling eyes, aquiline nose, prominent cheekbones and angular face. I have never met a man with such charming looks. We held hands and kissed. His touch was that gentle, warm and sooth like nothing. Even though he is named Romeo, the son of Montague, the great enemy of my family, our love would not be blocked by such vanity. Oh, Romeo, Romeo, my love Romeo, I just cannot wait to marry you.
