Thing Number Sixty-One

The sixty-first thing I love about us is how deeply we are equals. I think you don't see us that way ... I think you think that because I'm older and put on this worldly, jaded face, I'm somehow the senior of our pairing.

But I look up to you so much, lovely girl. You have an effortless ability to bring joy to those around you. Your vision strips things to their elements -- and usually to their purest core. If anything confuses you, there are good odds the reason lies in some deep flaw or madness within whatever it is you're considering.

You so enjoy the world.

I may have some years on you or a few advantages in this area of skill and knowledge or that one.

But ultimately, both our hearts are on a lofty mountain above all others.
