1969

Sometimes I find it odd when I see celebrities born this year knowing the relationship I had with you. It is surreal. How much age usually intimidates me on some level which it did not with you. Which I mostly figured out why now, but that's not the point at the moment. Regardless, that's my record, which I have no desire to outdo. So to 1969!
