You slid me an extra napkin when my slice betrayed me. We both laughed at the mess, but I didn’t get your name. If you’re reading this, let’s split another slice—this time, less sauce.

Our dogs tangled leashes and you joked about their instant connection. Yours ran circles around mine before you and I went our separate ways. Maybe fate wants a second round?

You were clutching a book and your red scarf slipped as you got off at Canal Street. I picked it up but couldn't catch you in the crowd. If you read this, I still have your scarf—and would love to return it over coffee.

You played guitar and sang "Stand By Me" as the F train rattled downtown. I dropped a dollar and mouthed "beautiful voice" just before I rushed off at Delancey—let's make music together next time?

You were playing "Yesterday" on your guitar while the train rattled over the Manhattan Bridge. I was the one in the yellow raincoat tapping along. Wish I'd told you the song made my morning.
