Amazing still it seems, she'll be 23

Dear Diane,
Tomorrow marks a milestone: It's Holly's 23rd birthday. Why is 23 an birthday of note? Because my 23rd birthday was the day before our first date. Holly is turning the same age I was when we started dating. Oddly enough, that makes me feel old. I don't know, but it sucks being away from her on her birthday, even if we aren't together. She's still one of my best friends and I wish I could be there to celebrate with her this weekend. But I know she'll have a great time, with or without me.
Here's the song I was listening to nonstop throughout the days leading up to my 23rd, "23" by Jimmy Eat World:

I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me

I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...Not stopping...

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...

Happy Birthday, Holls. Love you Lots.
