I've had a crush on someone for a long while now. He doesn't want to talk to me so the only thing left is to walk away.  Almost two years I've been dreaming about you and now I'm erasing your image from my mind. I wish you the best of everything not my man in a suit. I loved your hugs. —Broken to pieces

They say actions speak louder than words—good for some. The rest of us live in the real world, where sometimes we wish we could follow through with our commitments—then life happens, and we let others and ourselves down. Small steps in the right direction will get you to where you want/need to be. —Listener

It is not easy when I have so many new equations and possibilities to fix things.  I argue with myself too much. But then there is you. A real relief. You are so familiar.

I like this little sanctum. I want to find others with you.  “I,” because of my responsibility for things to work.  I would like to believe that there are other ways in which things can work.  But maybe only one way, at only one exact time. A way nobody knows.

I like our introduction. It is hard to be here and now. You have changed the atmosphere.  How did you do that?

If you want me to be direct, I'll do that: Please throw your jacket on the bed; get it later. —Somebody

You have no idea how much my heart pitter patters in your presence. A gal like me could only wish to be with a gal like you. Your friendship means the world to me. I always look forward to spending time with you. Do you have any idea how beautiful you are? I can't help but wonder if I would even have a chance. Looking forward to having our solo chats again—I’m so happy you trust me to confide in me with personal info. Until I get to spend time with you again. —From someone who adores you

Cheers to the one household on a certain south-of-Quinpool street with an orange sign amidst a sea of red!! My timid spirit bows to your boldness and you inspire me to act. I am with you in the hope for change. —So done with red

I miss you everyday. I mistreated you when I was in your warm embrace. With some time apart, I realize just how much you mean to me. I hope when I return home, you'll welcome me again. I miss your freedom and your small-town smile. I miss your art and connection.

Please forgive me, I did not appreciate you while I had you. —Pacific living, Atlantic loving

Let’s hear it for politicians who try to create harmony rather than discord and who believe in trying to build a better Nova Scotia by bringing people together and treating them in a polite and respectful way. —I believe in harmony

I wonder why there has to be so much space between us. —Warm and waiting

It's been a while since I've been in a SERIOUS relationship. I've gone for coffee with you once, and I can't stop thinking of you. The way you put yourself together and carry yourself is a beautiful art.

I know, I'm socially awkward and sometimes I don't know what to say. I also know that I suck at texting and sometimes it may seem like I'm not interested. The truth is—I‘m very interested. More interested than I've been in someone in 7 years.

A part of me is thinking,”Why are you even typing this?” because of the society we live in, where letters like these are labeled weird, cheesy, or soft now. But another part of me is like...This woman is amazing and I feel like she's the one after ONE DATE... So I need to write about it somewhere.

Anyway, I think about you often. I want to fall in love with you. You're amazing. (and something tells me you will read this and know who I am). —PlantGuy

I visited the popular coffee shop where you work last week and quite literally gasped when I first caught sight of you. I nearly fainted, and my poor heart skipped several beats. Since then, I've found it hard to think of almost anything else.  Your beauty is addictive and all but impossible to ignore.  “Think no more of it, I told myself. You'll only make yourself miserable.”  A woman as drop-dead gorgeous and vanilla-syrup sweet as she seems must have a fellah, I thought.  Even if she doesn't, she must have faaaar better prospects than me hoping to woo her.  Best to put her out of your mind.  So, I tried.  Then, having convinced myself the first time was just a fluke, I came in this morning, and I was almost relieved not to see you.  However, my relief was short-lived, as I soon caught sight of you and tried (pathetically) to engage you in conversation. Despite my best efforts to act cool and detached, I must have seemed anything but, and you  must think me a blubbering idiot.  My sincerest apologies.  I have never seen a more beautiful or sweeter lady in my life, and I got tongue-tied.  See, I am terribly shy, and out of the conviction that I am likely unworthy of your attentions, I chickened out of even asking your name. Should I try again?

While I hope you will read this, I have no guarantees you will; nor am I under any illusion that this will change things in my favour.  I merely wanted to express my feelings (keeping silent has been killing me): you have conquered my heart and taken it prisoner.  And although I may not be rich, super smart or overly handsome, I am adoring and sincere and, were I fortunate enough to interest you, I would do any and everything in my power to make you happy. —Lumberjack with Dirty Spoons
