I love you. you made my mid-summer all aglow.

You didn't hassle me for bringing my own wine 'cos I don't like beer. You started late on Sunday because you knew we were all tired. You made temporary tent cities the place to be. You made it possible for me to make out under the stars and to supply Kate Maki with the words to "dreams"; to hold Simone Schmidt's hand and to converse with Construction & Destruction; to nap on the grass in the shade and to see fog roll in the 6 am sunrise.

Goddamn, you're amazing! —I'll be back

Ignoring me in our fav coffee shop Sunday morning won't cure your extreme shyness toward me. While I feel complimented I do this to you, its also somewhat frustrating. Anyways I don't care either way, it's a shame though, your funny, quirky and witty would have been fun, but shy is shy - can't change that, like pulling teeth..."just sayin"...

This morning I saw you as I went to get the boat. You fiddled with your phone and adjusted your green vest. You said good morning and that was it. Done?!

I felt sad that all you left me with was the smell of your hair and the faint mint from your breath. If you are reading this, know that I respect women who rock the natural look.

You are one in a million and if not me, I hope you are happy and still have that cute wrinkle on top of your nose. —Wishful boy that just wants to cuddle

All you cute lady loving ladies who smile at me unexpectedly, causing me to blush and trip over my own feet, thanks for being out there. —Flustered female

Dear Halifax friends:

I love you all so much and it makes me so sad to say goodbye. We've had so many great memories over the past years that thinking of them will make me smile and laugh even though the physical distance will get bigger. Thank you for making my time here so memorable and I hold each and every one of you in my heart forever.

Love you all long time. —E

I know that, considering the fact that I'm only here for another month, I really shouldn't have fallen as hard as I have. But I have.

You make me want to sit by my phone all day so I don't miss your call. You make me want to 'accidentally' stop in at your work to see if maybe it's your lunch break, and if possibly I can buy you whatever it is your hungry for, just so I can get 30 more minutes of you in before I go.

You make me want to lay my cards on the table and let you know how I feel, because after the night we spent together watching fireworks from across the bay I'm 99% sure you must feel the same way too. If only a little bit.

Your kiss is amazing, and I could never get enough. But I leave in a month, and I know I shouldn't have fallen for you as hard as I have, but I have. —Leaving Soon

I was blonde, dressed in black, you were handsome and probably much older than me.

I regret not having spoken properly to you but thank you for turning and looking at me when the bus drove away. :3 —Patient blond

Thank you to whoever stopped the potential thief from cutting all the way through my bike lock on Saturday in front of the YMCA.

I came out and found it half cut, and was so grateful that the jackass attempting to rip me off didn't get away with it. I could be angry at the potential thief, but I'm choosing to send good will to whatever person or force made the thief stop!! —Kona Bike Girl

Thanks HRM for the rockin' free Natal Day concert. This is how public money should be spent - incredibly talented local bands, amazing venue, and accessible to everyone. We all had an amazing night, and I couldn't have be more proud to call Halifax home. —City of Lakes Lover

Shucks, you're awesome.

Getting to know you recently has been a lot of fun. All the beery nights and bullshit talk aside, I think you're a very special and beautiful woman.

I hope we can be friends for a long time. You rock. —That guitar pick doubles as jewelry
