He was only 16 when he left his island to go to the big city to study. There he met a city girl, hands to hold, a mouth to kiss, eyes to look into, dreams to share, and he was comforted when his longing back to his beloved island was too strong.
The years passed. Some days sweet and easy, other days love had to be fighted for. Young love can be hard work. Young love can be a dance on roses.
He took her back to his island several times. To let her walk the paths of his childhood. To discover new trails together. They studied maps. They discovered new land. On the map and in themselves. In each other. She was already deep in love with him. Now she also learned to love his island.
