It feels like it was just yesterday, but here we are. I still remember that first time we crossed paths at the gym. It was nothing out of the ordinary just a quick "hi". At that point, it was just another casual encounter, like the hundreds of other interactions people have in a public space. But something about that simple greeting stuck with me. As the days went by, we started seeing each other more frequently same time, same place. The "hi" turned into small talk as we both found ourselves gravitating toward the same machines or routines. It’s funny how you don’t realize something is growing until one day, you realize you’re genuinely looking forward to seeing that person again. That’s how I felt with you. What started as a few words here and there slowly became something more. We’d talk about our workouts, laugh at the occasional awkward moment, and even share a few stories about our days. It was easy to talk to you, and each interaction felt like a step closer to something real. I guess, looking back, it was inevitable we were inseparable from the moment we really started talking.
