Can two people, separated by more than a decade in years, ever make it work? Age is nothing but a number, and maybe his immaturity and my maturity balance out. Maybe my immaturity is compensated for by his older-and-wiser guidance when I really need it. We may never stop making jokes about nearly being different generations. About him being too old for something, about something being "before my time." I don't mind any of that. But he will be old long before I am out of my prime, at least at the rate I'm going. Strangers' stares don't make me feel any more secure in my decision. It is clear that he's not my brother. Can we ever resolve this difference, when everything else seems to be perfect?
