You made my latte at the East Village coffee shop and knew my order by heart. I finally worked up the courage to say hi, but your shift ended before I could.
Our dogs tangled their leashes near the Boathouse and you joked about a canine meet-cute. I chickened out before asking for your number. Tea and treats?
You were the tap dancer in the red suspenders; I was the laughing stranger you pulled into your impromptu performance. My two left feet never felt so right.
You helped me find my missing glasses in the produce aisle on Houston. I wanted to thank you with more than a frantic thank you, but you vanished near the avocados.
We huddled under the same tiny umbrella while waiting for our friends outside the Met. I didn’t get your name, just a memory of your laughter in the storm.
You were reading Murakami with a green scarf wrapped around your hair. We shared a smile as the train jolted, and then you disappeared into the Bedford crowd. Coffee sometime?
You dropped your produce and I helped you pick it up—it’s not every day you meet someone with such creative sock choices. You joked about avocado shortages and left before I could properly ask your name. Shall we compare sock collections over a coffee?

You were feeding the ducks near Bethesda Fountain, sketchbook in hand, red beret perched perfectly. I wanted to say your drawing was beautiful, but chickened out. Tell me: doves or ducks, and can I see your art again?

We reached for the same rare poetry book, hands brushing, and joked about fighting over it. I let you have it, but left wishing I’d asked for your number instead. How about a rematch—over coffee?

You played guitar and sang "New York, New York" on the L platform. Our eyes met mid-verse, and for a second it felt like time paused. You never saw the tip I left, but maybe I could buy you coffee instead?

We sang a duet to "Don’t Stop Believin’" even though neither of us probably should have. You bought me a drink, and we belted out every off-key note. Let’s try for an encore?

You nearly ran me over (sorry, my bad!) but you apologized with such charm that I haven’t stopped smiling. If you’re the cyclist with the silver helmet and contagious laugh, let’s ride again—maybe together this time.
