"I met you when I was 19, in 2003. I think I scared you a bit with my voice and firm handshake, but nevertheless, you still decided to quit college and run away with me into the world of Rock 'n' Roll: no click tracks, no backing tracks, no miming; just plug in, and play. We tried really hard not to fall in love, and then failed beautifully at just that. Oct. 2nd that year I kissed you first, and you still didn't run away. We called it the best worst idea we could ever make... When the fame happened, and you saw my darkness creeping in... Here we stand after 22 years of love, trust, and admiration for each other. We hold hands, and jump off a mighty cliff every night. So many firsts, so many risks, so many dreams come true. I don't have any idea what my life would look like if you hadn't come to the studio that day, and learned 'It's not You'. I don't want to know, because it was you. Joseph Frederick Hottinger. It was always you. You were my first, and you'll be my last. And when your hair is gray, and your pretty face is lined with the time on your hands... And to me you are still, and always will be, a wanted man.
I love you. 22 Feb.' 2025. Happy birthday."
