So like, me and my ex broke up about 2 years ago after being together for 6 years

So like, me and my ex broke up about 2 years ago after being together for 6 years, so yeah, a pretty long time. We didn’t have any big stuff like kids or a house together, but the end of it left me with some bad memories.
I was going through a tough time then – my dad passed away and I got super sad, eventually falling into depression. Thankfully, I’m in a better place now.
When I was depressed, she took care of me, like, a lot. But I told her I needed some space to work on myself, so we barely talked for like a month. After that, I told her I felt better, and we got back together.
As time passed, I still loved her, but I had a hard time showing it the same way. She noticed, we talked about it, but nothing really changed. So one day, she said we should break up. I was devastated, but if that’s what she wanted, I couldn’t really do much.
I did some cringe stuff to try to win her back – honestly, it was embarrassing, but you do dumb things when you’re desperate. We talked again, and I’ll never forget what she said – she was crying and told me, “I hope you get well and wish you all the best, but I can’t see you happy and being better than before knowing I’m not part of it.” That was our last conversation, two years ago.
Fast forward to now – I’ve been working on myself, hitting the gym, and got in great shape. I’ve got abs, wide shoulders, and decent arms. Fitness helped me a lot. I also finished my master’s last year and got a better job. Now when I look in the mirror, I’m proud of where I am, and life’s been pretty great.
I’ve dated around a bit and even had a short relationship, but it didn’t work out, and we’re still friends.
Then last Thursday, my ex messaged me. She said, “Hey, I saw you last week when you were shopping. You looked really good. How are you?”
I was shook, like totally caught off guard. But it also made me feel warm, yet confused.
I texted back a few hours later since I was in shock, “Hi, I’m doing fine, how are you?”
Then like five minutes later, I get this: “I’m doing great, thanks. It was nice seeing you last week. I can see you’ve changed a lot as a person. I’ve been through some rough times too, and I’m a better person now. Would love to catch up and hear your story. How about we meet at that coffee place where we first met? Let me know if you want to grab coffee :)”
My heart’s racing, and I got that weird feeling in my stomach, but my mind’s doubting everything. I’d love to see her again, but I’m not sure what to do.
I didn’t reply yet, and I also noticed I’m unblocked on all platforms and she’s been liking my posts and watching my stories.
So now I’m feeling confused about what to do. What should I say back? I hope this helps and gives you enough info to help me out.

Honestly no one can make this call for you it's gotta be something you decide for yourself. What feels right in your gut? What doesn't?
But from what you said about how things ended it kinda sounds like she really did care about you!
Also I think the only way you’ll really know if you wanna open this up again is to meet up with her. You’ll get a clearer picture after that if you wanna move forward. If you do just take it slow and be careful. You’ve come so far don’t forget to protect your peace.
