It all started with a dating app match - one of the rare ones where the conversation didn’t fizzle out after three messages. From the beginning, conversation just felt too easy and natural to ignore. We met at a cozy little coffee shop with an awkward wave and a nervous sidehug. But the moment we sat down, the world around us seemed to fade out. One cup of coffee, then another, relaxed and talking about everything: life, dreams, embarrassing stories we normally wouldn’t share on a first date - all while laughing and goofing around like we’d known each other for years. “Oh… it’s already dark outside?” The workers were putting up the chairs and sweeping at every table except ours. We took the hint and walked out into the parking lot, but neither of us wanted that date to end. We both knew this was something different. “Let me know that you got home safe, I’ll text you to plan the next one” Fast forward and here we are. Still talking, still laughing, and still losing track of time together. Only now, we get to call it forever.
