edge of desire

Dear number 39,
I just wanted to say thank you.I had a really long day. Actually, i've had a few months worth of them, to be honest.So when I came into the deli I was thinking hard about leaving Manhattan.But then I told myself if at least one stranger could show me some tiny shred of kindness..it would mean I should stay.And suddenly there you were.Talking with me.Looking me in the eye. Smiling at me like you meant it.Anyway i just wanted you to know if felt really good. And thanks to you i'm staying right where I am.

yours, number 40
