You stopped to help me when I looked hopelessly lost, your accent as out-of-place as mine. We shared a cab uptown but never exchanged names. I hope you found your show, and maybe this ad.

Five minutes felt like five hours in that stalled elevator on Black Friday. You cracked jokes and kept spirits high. The doors opened and you vanished into the crowd—I wish I'd asked for your number.

My heel snapped, and you offered me your arm and a sweet pep talk. We limped to the subway laughing, but I missed my chance to ask you out for a drink.

You sat on the bench near Bethesda Fountain, lost in a dog-eared copy of The Little Prince. Our dogs sniffed, we smiled, but your friend arrived before I could say more. If you see this, I’d love to finish that conversation.

The downpour hit as we both raced under the same awning. You shared your polka dot umbrella and made a rainy day feel less miserable. I never got your name, but your kindness brightened my week.

You were reading Murakami with headphones on, your red scarf catching the morning sun. I sat across from you, too shy to ask what song you were listening to before you dashed out at 33rd.

You wore a bright yellow raincoat and gave up your seat for an older woman on the crowded L-train. Our eyes met for a moment before the doors closed at Bedford—if you remember the guy with the paint-stained backpack, let’s finish that conversation.

You brought the house down with your rendition of “Livin’ on a Prayer.” I was your off-key backup singer—if you want to duet again (and tolerate my singing), let’s hit another karaoke night!

You were walking a tiny dog in an even tinier sweater and gave me a wave when it barked at my sneakers. If you remember the guy with the ridiculous neon headband, let’s take our pups for a stroll together.

During the previews, our popcorn buckets collided, sending kernels everywhere. I was too embarrassed to say anything, but I’d love to share snacks—and a film—without the mess.
