“What’s your greatest struggle right now?”
“Building a fence in my back yard.”
“Oh c’mon.”
“I’m serious. I married my best friend, I live on the Atlantic Ocean, I’ve played music my entire life. But this fence is giving me trouble!”

I don’t suppose, you being a girl, that you know what it’s like to love a girl like you, but if you knew how dependent men are on women, you might understand. Not that men can’t survive alone, but they don’t seem to really amount to anything until they have a woman they love. Reading over what I have just written, I see that everything I’ve said applies only to the selfish side of love. I guess that’s a dead giveaway about me. But as for you, kid, just knowing you is rather awe-inspiring.
