I still love you. I still care. I never stopped. I just needed to go. I could blame, fight, drag out the anger and regret and let it consume me. But the truth is I think about our life together every day. For whatever it's worth, I miss you terribly, and I will always be your girl. —Pie

To the guy in the blue Helly Hansen jacket on the 63: You moved for the couple with the baby stroller. True gentleman. I believe we held eye contact for a few moments, you have nice eyes. You added a little sunshine into my rainy day, I hope I see you again. —The Girl Who Wears Bright Colours When it's Raining

...to the bus driver who stalled me for half a second while crossing at the Spring Garden Road and Brenton Street crosswalk while a dangerous speeding driver passed on the wrong side of the road and flew across the crosswalk I was crossing. The bus driver laid on the horn and extended his/her arm out as far as s/he could in hopes of stopping the speeding car. In the meantime I was startled long enough by the bus driver's honking that the raging driver missed me by a very short hair. Never assume all drivers are wise folks! So a big thank you to bus driver! You saved my life from a lunatic driver who is too impatient to even own a car! —DRP

I've seen you twice, on the last two Friday evenings at the liquor store in Sackville. You had your wavy ginger hair pulled back, arm sleeve tattoos and you are so, incredibly sexy. I don't know if you are single or not, but the next time I see you, maybe I'll say hello. —Blondilocks

Thank you for being so open and accepting. Thank you for taking what I tell you at face value without needing to find out on your own. Thank you for endorsing me with these here cheerleading holograms. Life will continue, as it should, like it's always been. Amen. —What are You Selling? What are You Winning?

Big shout out to the girls at Tupper Tims. You guys be ballin'! —Snack Time

It's been months, you're dating someone else, and so am I. My heart still aches when I think of you. I'm not sure if it's because of the things we went through, (the regrets we will always have). You treated me badly (we just were so hard on each other because of what we went through), and there should be no reason for me to feel like this—but when you told me you wanted to work things out with us the other week... god, all I wanted to do was show up on your doorstep. I miss the sex, I miss your stupid laugh and I miss your gap tooth grin, I miss how prideful I was to be around you, to be with you, how content I was with life. You were my favourite person, and I don't think I will ever stop missing you. I wish things were not so complicated. The guy I am dating now treats me like a goddess... literally, to the point I feel like I don't deserve him. I want to want him, I want to be happy but life's not that easy. He deserves so much better but he refuses. My heart and my mind are with you for all of your faults you are so perfect to me. All I want to do is let you go... —My Head and My Heart are Always at Battle

To the man with the dreadlocks
And the bright red socks
Scooping a coffee at this hipster Dartmouth Cafe
You totally made my day
Just by wandering in
While I was pondering sin
And writing something badly
You made me grin madly
Keep on being your bad self. It works.
—Still Writes on a Lap Top

Much love to the handsome Connecticut couple visiting Halifax who entertained me with their pleasant conversation last night while I waited for the bus. Thank you for stopping and asking me for a light, and thanks even more for staying. Buy a Zippo: it will more than pay for itself in friends and good company. —Tourist Magnet

To the incredibly fit woman walking her terrier on Dresden Row, you are a testament to women. Fantastic arms, by the way. Keep fit, and have fun! —Not So Fit Guy
