Open letter to the tall, thin girl @ 24 hour fitness

i love you. I think i love you.

Your short, boy-cut brown hair is slightly androgynous, but your posture and elegance on the elliptical make up for it. I didn't get a smile, or a wave...but I swear we made eye contact for at least a second (which was all i needed, really).

I'd hoped you'd follow me from the cardio section to hit some free weights upstairs...but you stayed faithful to the elliptical, even as I left an hour later. Still there, treking away. You're a real piece of art, tall thin girl. I wonder if you'd wear sandals whenever we would be out in public? I hate feeling short.

If I ever see you again, I'm going to try reeal hard to talk to you. Maybe slip you a note that says "i like your asics and form-fitting training shirt." We could have lunch at the subway right across the courtyard, and talk about our favorite Arrested Development episodes.

A true taste of heaven.
