You probably won't read this. If you do, you probably won't realize it's you. But from the moment I met you, I felt an immediate connection—enough to scare me into sabatoging it. It scared me, I dissected it too much and now, there's no chance of exploring it. This would be in the bitch column, except for the fact no matter how I wish things had gone there was a positive aspect, that changed my life, and not a day goes by that wasn't improved by that short experience, and it's made a serious impact on me and my habits. You're a wonderful person, and you deserve even better of a person for you. I hope you find happiness to the Nth power, and hopefully letting these sentiments out will make it easier to stop thinking of you. —Kitty

To the beautiful girl on the university running track. You were running in the opposite direction as me and every time I got a glimpse of you I couldn't help but smile. You were so elegant, so effortlessly beautiful, totally oblivious to your own loveliness. Every time we passed each other I got a brand new burst of energy and my heart sank when I passed around the track without seeing you. I kept running for a long time hoping to pass you again but I never did. Thanks for being a short lived inspiration in my life. —Runner Running Round

You may be a left-wing liberal artsy fart, but somehow you've snuck your bleeding heart self into my life and I don't want you to go. You've managed to stir something inside my jaded automaton self, and I find myself gushing about you like a silly fool. I'm a little crazy about you, and I hope it shows. Thanks for putting up with my crazy stress balledness and most of all thanks for just being you. xo —No longer lonely astronaut

To the volunteers working at wheelchair basketball, you were simply awesome! After 12 and 14hr days I expected tired faces but you were all so happy and helpful throughout the whole week. Thanks for making a successful, sold out week. Special thanks to the table officials for your focus and fantastic attitudes! It was a blast! —NS Blue Through and Through

So it's been a year since we broke up. At the time, I was so hurt, I never thought I could ever consider loving you again. As time passed in the last 12 months, I've done a lot of soul searching and reflecting, and now see how I could have been a better husband, and how I could have made things better. Sadly, the time of my self-realization comes too late to make a difference, and as I know you have moved on, I don't want to now interfere with your new life which you wanted to start. In our early years, we were like "gypsies" moving almost yearly, and going from province to province, until we moved back to NS 3 years ago, at which time I thought this would be our true settling. It turned out to be the beginning of the end. Now all I can do is wish you the best and hope you have found what I was too blind to give you. —Pinky

We met at a dance party. I was too drunk to dance (well). We danced anyway. Just got to say, you're super cute. —The Boss

Whoever bought the headband I made, thank you. It's this first piece of art I've ever sold. I've created many a thing, but didn't think it would interest others. I'm glad you liked it. —Britto E

Truly, your girlfriend is lovely. But she doesn't play music, understand your jokes, and might have her Canadian passport revoked for not knowing the definition of a hat trick. I won't go there. I'm not planning on luring you away (which probably isn't even possible) I just wanted to tell you that I would probably woo you if you were single. I think I'd be a better fit. I think I could love you more. You're pretty and funny and utterly charming and if possible I would totally try to seduce you. Like, the chances are very good—I'm no mathematician, but the odds of me trying to sleep with you (if you were available) are like 345%. —Davies

I don't think you know this, but I like you. My heart skips a beat whenever you are near. You are everything I have ever wanted and even though you are this close, you could not feel farther away. I wish you would give me some sort of sign because I don't have the guts to tell you how I feel. —Dizzy with Anticipation

I think that you're very handsome and would love an opportunity to talk to you! I've never been fortunate enough to be remotely close to you on this rather packed bus to even consider mustering up the courage to say something to you, but maybe some day I will. Besides, I'm not entirely certain how receptive you would be to a tea and sometimes sleep deprived gal in the early hours of the morning. So until then, I'll continue to smile at you as you get on. —Bus Rider
