It seems like only yesterday that we first laid eyes on each other. Like so many relationships nowadays, we met online and realized we had similar interests. I wanted to get healthy; you were the beacon of fitness. We spent that first hour together and you intrigued me. You left me with a feeling of wonderment, and I was oh-so-eager to see you again.

 

The next few weeks were a steamy, sweaty, animalistic blur. We got into positions I didn’t think were possible, and you asked of me things I never thought I’d do. That time you took me out for a Hershey’s Kiss lunch was truly the most intimate moment we’ve shared. I’ve never felt closer to you.

 

My friends and coworkers weren’t sure what to make of you. They thought I was investing too much, and you not enough. I tried to explain to them that our time together is precious, but I could still see the doubt in their eyes. They don’t see what I see. They don’t see that I’m in this for the long haul.

 

I must admit, when I met your friends Rusticles and Elisa I was taken back. They asked things of me that I didn’t feel were right, but since they were your friends I put my own hesitations aside and did what was best for our relationship. I’m so glad I did. I realize now that Rusticles and Elisa only want what’s best for me, what’s best for us.

 

Don’t get me wrong. We’ve had our rough times. The day we had to call the paramedics was the day I knew our honeymoon was over — but they say a relationship doesn’t really start until you’ve been hurt. I thought it was you who hurt me that day, but I’ve realized that had I listened to you all along none of that would’ve happened. You were right, my beloved BHIP. You were right.

 

Sometimes when you push me too far, I’ll admit I’ve thought of being unfaithful. The allure of cheating on you with the Wooden Center's sure and stable Spin class has almost sucked me in. After all, stability is the key to most relationships. Turns out I prefer them young and reckless -- I guess I go for the bad boy. I see others at the Wooden Center in their relationships, but they lack our passion. They spend their quality time with the treadmill or the elliptical but with no spark, no excitement. I’m happy they’ve at least found something, but it’s not what we have. Nothing can compare to our true love.

 

As we look into our future, I can see how right you are for me. You’ve changed my life in the short six weeks that I’ve known you. You’re making me a better person and I want nothing more than to continue our relationship for as long as possible.

 

Forever yours,
