"Desperate- Party of one"

At first glance this poem was vey odd. After all who would put an ad in a paper for a date/girlfriend? Then after reading it closer, I realized that maybe they aren't looking for someone new, but maybe someone old. Maybe the speaker is describing his former love and is seeking advice as to where she may be. Perhaps he is talking of all the experiences they used to encounter and is reminisscent of all those days in the past. Obviously the speaker already has someone in mind about who they are seeking out, because they keep saying, "is it you?" The speaker has hit rock bottom and this is his last resort to try to find the woman he let go. In a way I thought it was very desperate, but then again I would love if someone put an ad in the paper for me!
