Come back and listen to that little wooden speaker with me again and I'll get you that bag for your bag. —Wood Working Girl

To the woman on the bus who had the guts to tell off the couple who were loudly and profanely shouting and sobbing in front of several small children, thanks for doing what no one else did. Your fiery red hair matched the gusto with which you attempted to save young ears, so much respect. —Pretending to Listen to My iPod

Every now and then I catch you smiling at me... As much as I like the smiles, we should actually talk sometime! Don't be shy, we could both use a study break. —Happily Accepting Smiles, For Now

I needed an afternoon coffee fix, but what I got was way more than I ever wanted... I saw you sharing more than americanos with "Mr. Moustache" at what was supposed to be "our spot"! You said, last week, I'll "never be 100 percent in." And, you're right, if you insist on sharing yourself with him and I both... And, I know you've said he's "hung like a horse." But, haven't you had your fill yet? I've given you my heart, soul and more, and humbly ask for all of you in return! Can't you stop sharing, and move to the woods with me and our dog Seamus. The VW van is packed and GTG? —No More Pumpkin Pie For You... Hope Not?

I was so hurt... that day I thought you'd dumped me. You said you weren't ready for closeness and that I needed more from you than what you can give me. I felt so rejected and I didn't know why I was being rejected... I felt like all the things I told you, and all the intimate moments we spent together were meaningless and that is why you wanted me gone. I figured your distance and actions were because you were with someone else or not interested in me because of someone else.

I think about you every day you know. I want to talk to you all the time, but I feel like I can't message you. I have never met someone like you. After making that connection with you, texting with you for months, seeing you in person, how do I go back to how life was like before? I wasn't miserable before you, but I am miserable now without you. It is so hard to open myself to anyone - do you know how ridiculously easy it was for me to open myself up to you? How safe I felt with you? I feel invincible with you. It's not that I needed you to complete me, I don't need anyone to complete me. But, the things you do to me...

I think I finally understand where you were coming from. Like maybe you were "someone's" for so long—that you can't be that for anyone right now. I hope you know I would do anything to be with you.

That day we went to the beach, and you played "Summer Love" in the car—you touched me—my mind was caught up in a whirlwind of possibilities. Was that just me reaching for anything that gives me hope? You have made me feel alive, and made me realize what I've been missing in my life. You are SO beautiful—your eyes cut through me to the core, I dream of kissing your lips at night... Was that kiss you gave me on the cheek that day the goodbye kiss and I am just too much of an idiot to admit it to myself?

Now I am probably one of those people on the hated list I'd heard so many times when I was on the inside. Now I'm on the outside, looking in... And it's so cold. I could lie and say this is without expectation, but I will always do my best, regardless, not to put my expectations in front of your needs and feelings again. Even now. I just wanted you to know how much I have missed you. Missed your messages to me, missed having you care about me. To check in with me, to shoot the shit with me. And to be close with me. I want so much to be close with you, and to you. I had so many fantasies built up in my mind of you. The reality of you—blew away the most hopeful anticipations I could have ever had of you.

I told a mutual friend I was falling in love with you that time we went to the beach. That I was trying so hard to keep it contained because I knew that you needed space and you didn't know where you're head was at. But oh my god it feels so right with you. I wish to be one of those people you can say you love without hesitation. The luckiest people in the world from my perspective. I want to earn that you know. I want you so bad. I know it all happened kind of fast. If that is my fault I'm sorry, I really had good intentions you know. I'm not a bad person! I never wanted to hurt you if that is what I've done! If there was any way I could be with you again, if I had an opportunity that I missed because I didn't tell you my feelings, I'd never forgive myself. So here I am, for you, always. —Dartmouthy

...this crazy crush I have on you. We've been hanging around each other through our mutual friends and you're so warm and funny and comfortable in your own skin, I just enjoy being around you so much...and you probably don't even know it. I don't want to ruin a good thing, so I don't mind biding my time. Getting to know you is what I want most anyway. —Looking Forward to Next Time

Monday night I went for cough drops and lunch food at a grocery store at 1am looking like the wrath of god, berks, un-showered, no bra, et cetera. Standing in the check out behind this rather cute mid 20s guy. We had a conversation just small chit chat but nothing crazy. He goes through and as he is about to walk out hands the cashier $10 and says "this is for her groceries" and then hurries out. WTF! Don't know who he is but mystery man you have restored my faith a little in men. Thank you! —Cough Drop Girl

I miss you so much and I think of you every single day. I know we're right for each other and one day we'll find a way to be together. We haven't spoken in a while and I'm about to cave any day now. I've resisted this long only because I thought you wanted me to leave you alone for a bit or that you were mad at me for leaving or thinking I don't love you the way you love me. I really don't know why we aren't on speaking terms right now but if you wanted to talk to me you would have by now. It hurts me so much that I can't be there for you as much as I want to be. You deserve so much more than I can give to you right now. I wish I could give you all of me. I truly hope you find happiness my love. I want it for you more than I want it for myself. I will always, always love you with every part of me, believe it or not. —One and Only

I saw you today, Monday afternoon, near Alderney Gate and my heart skipped a beat. I wondered if you saw me too. You looked delicious. I miss you, our talks and our laughter. —I Don't Want to be Strangers
