Johnny Cash’s Love Letter To June |
On June 23, 1994, Johnny Cash wrote what many call The Greatest Love Letter of All Time: Happy Birthday Princess, We get old and get used to each other. We think alike. We read each others [sic] minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted. But once in awhile, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met. You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You’re the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much. |
