Is this one sentence natural?

Could you please tell me if this sentence is correct and natural? The underlined bit:

I hadn't seen him for as long as I knew him. I hadn't seen him in 10 years and I knew him between the ages of 5 and 15 which when we lost touch.

Thank you

Thank you but does it feel natural though to you, if one were to say it?

Thank you John

Yes, it feels natural to me.

But, it's one of those sentences that almost immediately begs the question: "...and how long was that?"

I like your sentence because it makes you stop and think for a second. It's not just a straightforward recitation of facts. I even find it somewhat poetic.

Here is another - somewhat similar - that I have always liked:
