Dear Halifax,
In light of the fact that tomorrow is international tell your crush day, I would like to tell you that I have a crush on you, despite the fact that you are as aloof as the friction on your winter sidewalks.
I also have a crush on:
-you, who are leaving soon
-you, who are staying
-you, who I just met
-you, who I've known for a while
-you, who I hope to know forever
-you, who make me wonderful coffee
-you, who tell me the best stories
-you, who make me want to fight
-you, who make me want to stretch
-you, who make me laugh
-you, who make art
-you, who cook
-you, who are fighting the austerity budget
-you, who I love dancing with
-you, who are far away
-you, who live so delightfully close.

Dear Red,
I just want you to know that even though we haven't talked in a while I still think about you. This is a weird phase for us right now, but weird isn't always bad. Things will pan out, trust me. Just know I loved you then, and I love you now. —Blue Thunder
I found a box of letters from you under my bed the other day, and regardless of how dated they maybe and how much feelings have changed between then and now I want to thankyou for your abundance of care. Thankyou for writing out entire books to me about your heart. I will never forget the time and dedication you put into building something beautiful for us.
I miss you a lot, I don't expect to hear from you anytime soon, and that's okay. In fact it's more than okay, I think it's very necessary.
I just wanted to somehow reach out to you and say thankyou. Thankyou for creating a safe space for me and keeping it that way. I will always cherish it. —Art

Thank you for being such a wonderful human being. Thank you for serving as a reminder that men can exist and have literally every trait that I value. I love hearing about your family—especially about how you met and fell in love with your wife. There was never a chance in hell for us (due to, among other things, the age gap and also the fact that she is your soulmate), but you should know that I base my idea of "ideal guy" on you. Thank you for that. —Freshman
I can still hear your cheerful voice saying “Hi!” as we would playfully greet each other while we cuddled and kissed. The love we shared was the best I have known and I am grateful to you. I wish we had been open about our needs years back. Yes, I can still hear your voice teasing me as we would part from our embrace, “Come back!” —Grateful To You
Living here in Fairview, we don't have much to love. But each morning there is a very friendly person who waves at me through my basement apartment window. He wears some sort of uniform (not sure what kind), but he is always there right after my friends leave after our daily game of bridge. Thanks for making me feel like a woman! —Thanks Fairview Sexy Man!
To the person that I saw in a restaurant sitting at a booth. I am glad we both shared a double take, even though the initial purpose of the glance in the window was to scope out my own appearance. I am happy you looked out. —Blonde in a Black Jacket
