To the wonderful person who found my wallet and brought it to the police station on Gottingen with everything still safely inside, thank you so much! I'd all but given up hope of ever getting it back. —MS

You knew my story from the beginning yet it didn't stop you. Now nothing, why?I tried calling you weeks ago but I hung up without leaving a message because I didn't know what to say.I always say too much of the wrong things which results in me contradicting myself.. I see you as a gentle, kind, loving and wounded soul who is afraid to allow some people in to love you.. I grew to have feelings for you over the months we spent time together. I've tried to talk myself out of having those feelings but, it is what it is.I also wondered if a friendship would be possible... One year is a long time. I miss your sense of humour and your laughter. —I Love Your Sense of Humour

I met you this afternoon (the 17th) at work. You gave me butterflies and sang along to the Eagles and spoke French and were generally endearing. I would really love to see you again. —The Littlest Barista

To the guys with the megaphone that were getting everyone to high five at the bus stop: my friend and I thought you guys were really funny :) —Dal Girls

To my sister, the coolest French librarian. Thanks for all the help and chats over the past 5 months, keep 'em coming, I'm over here for another 7 months (which you will still be highly jealous of, I know)... >— You Know Exactly Who I Am

To my "Smart, Sexy, Muscley, Shnugle Bunny": thanks so much for getting roses (again) for me this year on Valentine's day .. They are beautiful (my favourite colour, too!) and they remind me of why we are still together after 6 months of dating others, 1 year of dating "exclusively" and 3 tumultuous years of being together "officially" ... I know things are very hard at the moment in your life on many fronts, but you know I am 100% with you with anything that happens ... Some things are more important than others and I can deal with the problems you are going through: I would be a cold-hearted bitch if I let those things get in the way of what we have been through: I really love you .... —Your "Cutie"

It's been a few months now and I'm totally smitten. I don't see you as often as I'd like but understandable; you're just out of long term relationship, only a few months before we met, and you have a busy life with your children (which I totally support and encourage). I want to see you more often (I miss your touch...your companionship...the laughs we share), but I'm afraid if I suggest this or put any pressure on you I will lose you forever. You're the strong, silent type, and I feel you're holding back, possibly due to the same fears I have of not wanting to put pressure on. You are nothing like anyone I've ever had a relationship with in the past. We're "exclusive" as you say and you initiated that conversation shortly after we met. I think I'm in love with you and I think I'm ready to say it but as long as we're "in hiding", I'm not so sure the timing is right. I am so afraid of doing/saying the wrong thing and I certainly don't want to lose what we have. Why is it so difficult for people to say what then mean/mean what they say without fearing negative results? Help!! —Why Is There No Manual For This?

I am struggling between what my heart wants and what my mind is thinking, either way I hope you are a part (even a small part) of my life for a very long time. I don't care what anyone else says or thinks, I think you're f*cking great. —Long Lost Friend

Hats off to the man who removed a big overhanging icicle from the front of the museum the other day! It perhaps saved someone from getting a bonk on the head. —An Appreciative Citizen

I'd kiss your back forever. —Smitten Kitten
