About this blog

In Toronto, there is a nightly news magazine called T.O. Night aimed at the commuter crowd. One of the
features that it contains is a section called Shout Out where readers can send a short message, rant, note...
to someone, or to anyone...

I started sending Shout Outs to the woman that I am in love with. Not all of them are published in
T.O. Night - and once the magazine is tossed, so too is the shout out...

Here are most of the shout outs that I have submitted - and some of my other writings to
The Lady on the Train...

Belief..

Angel,

Last night in the car, I told you that you are beautiful. You had been at the gym, you were not 'done up' and you were feeling tired... I told you that you are beautiful and as you usually do, you laughed it off.

Earlier in the day at lunch, I sat across from you - watching you as you worked, thought, talked, and ate. You wore a black turtleneck and your hair down, framing your face. I wanted to tell you then, but held my tongue - I am not sure why I did...

At different times, in different places, changed lighting, changed clothing and moods... whenever I look at you, I can see your beauty. I see you and my heart skips and my breath catches... I look at you and am filled up to the point of bursting...

There are times when I wonder what it is you ever saw in me... I still have difficulty in believing that you could ever have turned your eyes in my direction... I am even more surprised that I have held your attention for this long..

If you try to believe your beauty, I will try to believe that I deserve you...

Just me.
