a Long Distance Dedication from a man who wouldn't give up.
Katy and I were neighbours onWest 19th Street in Chicago.She was 11 and I was 15 when we met. That was 18 years ago. I found myself thinking about her often and couldn't explain
the butterflies in my stomach every time I saw her .
Then in 1964 I joined the navy and didn't come home until 1967. In the meantime,Katy had grown up very much.
When I returned we began to see each other and had very good relationship. But as time went on we began to fall apart. Finally in 1969 we broke up for good. Katy was almost 18 years old.
After the break up I only saw her from the distance. It was very bitter for both of us. But I loved her very much and did not want to forget her.
Five years later,in 1974, Katy's sister set up a meeting for us to see one another. It was very pleasant and we found ourselves holding and squeezing each other's hand as we left
her sister's house to go our separate ways.
For the next year we talked on the phone and wrote letters. Finally,after many tries I worked up enough nerve to ask her out and she worked up enough nerve to accept.
We've now being back for 6 years. We married,have a family and are very much in love. I love Katy more and more as time goes by so would you please play "The more I see you"
for Katy?
Signed,
JERRY.
