Synopsis
My dear, I remember as if it were today, the day we met for the first time. I think I was about 15 and still playing with dolls. I looked at you. Full of courage. Whithout letting it show that my whole body was shaking. You grabbed my waist with unusual strength when you pulled me to dance. I felt weak and strong. At that moment I was sure… because I knew I could die in that embrace. Sleep there and just stay in that embrace.
