To the tall, lithe, wondrous and glamourous woman in high heels with shockingly coloured hair who was gliding down Argyle street on Saturday morning.  When you were singing, "How deep is the ocean", I felt the overwhelming urge to reply, "How high is the sky?", but convention held back my voice. Without knowing, you positively impacted my day and had me humming Billie Holiday all afternoon.  Thank you. —Pedestrian Paramour

You were my first real love, and I still love you. This is why parting hurt so much. I feel empty, but not hopeless. If I didn't believe our friendship would survive I don't think I could bear it. We're so young and have so much growing left to do. Nietzsche says that: We are two ships each of which has its own goal and course. Our paths may cross and we may celebrate a feast together, as we did – and then the good ships rested so quietly in one harbor and in one sunshine that it may have looked as if they had reached their goal and as if they had but one goal. Maybe our paths will intertwine again someday. I love you, always. —Your North End Friend

I'm sorry if this is creepy, but I can't keep sitting in the car anymore. You work back shift drive-thru at a food chain that claims we're lovin' it. I used to know a girl who did the same shift, she since quit but I still visit, every Friday night 'cause that's the only night I know for sure I can see you. Ever since I first saw it, I knew there was something about you. I won't lie, I first thought you were just another cute drive-thru girl who I'd forget about in a week, but after a week, and I came back hoping to see you. There you were, hair up, uniform, probably thinking you look like hell but you're absolutely gorgeous. But you've got the most amazing smile. I can't get it out of my head. It's beautiful and so inviting. I know I'm not the best look guy on the planet, got some weight that could dissappear and some nappy facial hair I only keep 'cause I look 12 without it. All I'm asking is you let me take you to a movie, for a meal, hell, even just a coffee, just so I can see that smile one more time. Knowing my luck you've got a boyfriend or are of another sexual orientation, but I'm not asking for anything complicated, I just want to get to know the girl behind the smile and uniform. If you read this and know who I am, I intend grow some balls one night and eventually as you out. Untill then, never, ever stop smiling. — Late Night Food Run

I see you every day but don't have the guts to tell you how hot you are. One time you sat next to me and your thigh was against mine. It made my panties literally (and yes 'literally' used as its new definition) look like a jar of mayonnaise exploded. I was sure if I stood up there'd be a snail trail left behind. I want to turn my fantasies into a reality but I'm too shy. —Concupiscent Cutie

I hesitated and lost out on the one chance you gave me. Still waiting to cash in the IOU to the promised land, where sky is a gorgeous blue, the waters are a light teal and the warm air wraps my body as I prayed you would...We both made our mistakes. One mistake I promise I would never ever make again is turn you down when you ask me to go away with you. Your social standing is such I could never reach your heights. Those thoughts are responsible for my losing out on the trip of my lifetime. You are too good for me. Why you even asked me to go with you baffled me. I am sure of one thing, which is my feelings for you. —Promise No Jokes This Time

And your Uffizis hurt. We don't see each other anymore, adventures or otherwise. You've started your own company and are happy with a lovely girl, and I'm married to the man of my dreams. I know too much water has drifted, rushed, and roared under the bridge for us to be close anymore, but I just wanted you to know that I think of you, sometimes. I hope you are well - happy - thriving. I wish all the best things for you, where ever you are, whatever you're doing. with love always. — Anonymous

I want you my friend, to share a bottle of wine with. I'm dying to get caught up on my favorite movies... —My Favourite Billing

So there you stood, in all of your glorious, mustached perfection, smiling at me ever so sweetly while you waited for your coffee...which is exactly the opening I've been waiting for, and what do I do? Stare at you like a deer in the headlights and keep walking. Really?? Seriously....I am officially hopeless when it comes to men. I wonder if there are any openings at the convent, though I'm sure I'd probably screw that up somehow too. Ugghhhh...lol. —Hopeless Redheaded Idiot

Dear friends, I love you all so very much, but I can't take this anymore. I'm taking a huge leap after this school year is done, and chances are I won't be telling you until just before my departure. I hope you understand. I'm not giving up my dreams; I'll still be pursuing my education while away, just on a part time basis. I can't ever see me returning to Halifax though. Please keep in touch. I'll miss you. —Nomadic Tendencies

Ending a relationship is tough. It's particulalrly tough when its been a long one and the people you share are so mutually connected. However sometimes good things come. After what can only be described as a brutal 3 months, I find myself only having eyes for you. But you're with that guy, and there are so many reasons why it will never happen. You're my best friend and the one I could depend on through all the shit. One day, maybe just maybe you would see it as a potential. I am more than happy to wait for that day. I can't thank you enough for being you and I wish I could escape the friendzone just this once. —Late Night Records
