I remember when I first saw you. You were in a photograph with a friend of mine, and while I had my suspicions, I wouldn’t find out that you were officially dating each other until quite some time later. I’d never met you in the real world, but even in photographs your physical beauty was stunningly obvious. With your black hair tinged with grey, your piercing blue eyes, and your wiry body, you were everything I could have hoped for in a man.
