You were softly singing "Landslide" on the Red Line around 8am. Your voice was beautiful and you made everyone in that car smile. I hope you know you brightened 30 strangers' mornings.
I was struggling with four bags and a broken umbrella outside Trader Joe's. You ran over without hesitation and carried two bags to my car. You had a Boston College hoodie on. Thank you for being so kind.
I dropped my wallet somewhere between the market and the T station. You tracked me down through my gym membership card and called the gym to reach me. Not a single dollar was missing. Humanity restored.
It was 1am and we were the only two people at the laundromat on Mass Ave. We talked about everything and nothing while our clothes tumbled. When my dryer finished you said goodnight and I realized I never got your name.
