“I met him at the dance school. You feel it right away: dancing becomes something else. You float, you feel happy and warm.”
“We walked for two hours and when we stood at the garden gate, I finally asked her. She said yes immediately, as if she knew all the time I was going to ask her.”
“I was sixteen and lived in Leipzig. He was doing compulsory labour. We were in love. At the end of the war he had to return home. For a whole year I heard nothing from him. When the mail finally worked again, I wrote him and asked whether he had forgotten me. I got a flaming love letter back. He would come to get me. He kept his word and smuggled me to Belgium.”
“We quickly got married because he had to go to Germany to work. In this way I could come too and we weren't separated.”
“It was war and that was terrible but we made a lot of fun. We cycled together on tyres that got punctured all the time. We put aside the table and danced and sang.”
“We walked hand in hand. I felt that something was different. She did too, but she would or could not admit it.”

A glance, a dance, holding hands... The streets were dark. The girls had to get home early, and certainly shouldn't linger too long at the front door. First love, often forever. 70, 75 years ago, but the memory is as alive as if it happened today.
