You played "Imagine" on your ukulele between stops at Astor Place and 68th. I was the one humming along, too shy to make eye contact but wishing I could thank you for brightening my commute.

At the Met, you helped me find the Impressionist wing and joked about starting a "museum navigation service." I wanted to linger, but my friend called me away—now I wish I'd asked to get lost together again.

We shared a tiny umbrella in front of Joe Coffee, laughing as we both fumbled to unlock our Citi Bikes. I wanted to ask for your number, but you pedaled away with a wave into the afternoon drizzle.

You sat across from me clutching a dog-eared copy of "The Goldfinch," your green scarf bright against the gray subway crowd. I smiled when you caught me humming along to your music, but then you vanished at Chambers Street before I could say hi.

You were reading “The Secret Garden,” and I was the fool who interrupted to ask about the author. Our conversation was cut short by your friend’s arrival. If you’d like to finish our literary debate, meet me by the Alice statue at noon this Saturday.
You were ahead of me in line at Ess-a-Bagel, debating everything vs. sesame. We laughed about indecision and you let me cut ahead—if you’re seeing this, I owe you a bagel and more laughs.
We bonded over our mutual frustration with the slow toaster at the deli on Myrtle Ave. Your umbrella broke, but your sense of humor didn’t. Let’s share a less soggy morning together next time.
You lent me your bright yellow umbrella when the sudden downpour hit, and I awkwardly promised to return it. I didn’t catch your name, but your kindness brightened my rainy day—meet up for coffee and your umbrella’s return?
You handed me my blue scarf as the doors closed at 14th Street, and we laughed at my clumsiness. I meant to ask your name, but the train whisked me away. If you remember the scarf—and my awkward thank you—let’s try this again over coffee.
We locked eyes somewhere between Canal and Union Square, both trying not to spill our coffee as the train lurched. I was the guy with the paperback and nervous grin—if you remember me, I’d love a second chance to say hello.
