Scrawled in rambling, crudely written letters it read “please don’t leave I love you”. And since one has to or should stop at a stop sign, maybe the writer  thought that would make the beloved stop and think about what they might be doing. Maybe the stop sign was their special spot, where they first met, but without any greeting, not even a “to whom it may concern”, or a signed “yours truly”, one has to wonder if the writer knew who or what they were or who the other person was, And just how sincere was the plea?  Could it have been  just somebody appealing to anybody or  everybody? And if the writer had the courage of their words, why were they not standing there waiting and waiting and holding the sign in front of their heart?
