Greetings Kansas City,
TO EVERY GIRL AND GUY IN KANSAS CITY MISSOURI. I HAVE KNOWN AND DATED MANY GIRLS OVER A LIFETIME. I GOT ONTO THE BUS PLAZA TO THE WALDO AFTER A FIGHT WITH SOME FRIENDS AS IT IS MY BIRTHDAY THIS WEEKEND AND I WAS UPSET THEY DID NOT DONATE TO MY ST JUDES CHARITY AS MY ONLY WISH FOR MY BDAY ON FACEBOOK NOT A SINGLE DOLLAR FROM 500 FRIENDS FROM OUR DEAR CITY.
BUT, MY LIFE CHANGED WHEN I SAW HER IN THE FRONT OF THE BUS SITTING ALONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE NOONE AROUND HER. SHE WORE A WOOL LIKE COAT WITH A WOOL KNIT LIKE HAT NOT SURE IF IT WAS WHITE OR BROWN. HER HAIR WAS BROWN, HER EYES WERE DARK BROWN OR GREEN AND HER SMILE WAS THE BEST THING I COULD EVER SEE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. FOR SOME REASON, NEVER BEFORE HAVE I BEEN IN LOVE. BUT TONIGHT, I FELL IN LOVE, HOW SILLY AT ONE SIGHT BUT I KNEW BECAUSE I DID NOT SIT NEXT TO HER, EVEN THOUGH ALL MY FRIENDS KNOW I AM CONFIDANT AND BEYOND SHY. BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT EVEN RIGHT BEHIND HER BUT EXACTLY 2 SEATS ON THE BUS RIGHT BEHIND HER PRAYING TO GOD SHE WOULD GET OFF AT MY STOP AT 63RD AND BROOKSIDE, INSTEAD SHE MUST HAVE CAME FROM MIDTOWN OR POWER AND LIGHT BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING SOUTHBOUND ON THE MAX TO WALDO AND THE LAST STOP IS WALDO RIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT 12AM FROM THURS TURNED TO FRIDAY MORN. IF ALL I GET FOR THIS BDAY OR ANY BDAY, IT WAS THE BEST PRESANT TO BE SO STRUCK AND IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE I NEVER MET. WHY I NEVER SAT NEXT TO HER OR INTRODUCED MYSELF I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. I HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE, FRIENDS OR FAMILY WILL TRY AND TELL HER PLEASE DO ME ONE FAVOR AND EMAIL ME OR SOMEHOW GET IN TOUCH WITH ME, I WORE MY BLACK BANANA REPUBLIC LONG DRESS LEATHER JACKET WITH NECK STRAIGHTUP AND SOMETHING THAT SHE SMILED AND CHUCKLED A LITTLE BIT. I WORE SOMETHING ELSE ON MY FACE WHICH ONLY SHE WOULD KNOW.
I PRAY THAT I CAN MEET HER AGAIN SOMEHOW BECAUSE I WOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT FACE. AND I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND, A MAN NEVER MARRIED OR IN LOVE IN MY LIFE AND RIGHT THERE IN ONE MILLISECOND I FELL IN LOVE. IF ANYONE CAN TELL HER ALL I WANT, IS IF SHE WILL LET ME AS A FRIEND TAKE HER OUT FOR SOME COFFEE AT ANY COFFEE SHOP AROUND THE PLAZA AREA THAT IS ALL I EVER COULD ASK FOR. BECAUSE HER SMILE AND CHUCKLE SENT MY HEART THROUGH MY CHEST. I AM A TOUGH GUY TOO AND SOMEHOW WAS STRUCK IN ROMANCE, I HAVE NO IDEA WAHT HAS BECOME OF ME. PLEASE HELP ME FIND HER, BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON. SHE LIKED ME TOO, AND FOR SOME REASON, I FELL IN LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE BY A GIRL I DIDN'T EVEN SPEAK TO BUT GIRLS AND GUYS KNOW, IT HAD TO BE A HELL OF A SMILE AND GIGGLE.
EVEN IF I CAN'T BE WITH YOU FOREVER OR IN LIFE. PLEASE, LET ME FIND YOU, BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAS BECOME OF ME. ONLY GOD COULD KNOW OR ALLOW SUCH TO HAPPEN. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AND THANK YOU FOR THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER. I PRAY I SEE YOU SOON.
SINCERELY,
PHIL
