We meet as it getting dark at the top of the bank like we always do, and then go to the cinema....We follow our heroine in submarines, on moterbikes, in jeeps, by parachute, on horseback, suspended on helicopters.
Then we get the bus home...I go to the front door, He waits down in the garden by my window...My rooms in the basement. He climbs through not making a sound. Everything's quiet.
We lie side by side in my narrow bed in the dark in silence. No music. Above us and around us - like an ancient mausoleum - The house . a small bathroom, my room, and the cellar down stairs, the kitchen and the living-room on the ground floor, upstairs my parents bedroom and another bathroom.
Just as we are, naked, we start running through the house. Without making a sound we move through the rooms in the dark, along the hall, up and down the stairs. We stand still outside my parents bedroom and then go on, out of the front door and into the garden, naked despite the cold, onto the lawn and then back downstairs again to my room.
Suddenly my dads standing in the room in pyjama top and trousers
" Out get out now"- and he grabs hold of him and drags him past my mother whos screaming. up the stairs and throws him out.
I run back down, lock the door from the inside and climb out of the window with out things. My dad shouts after us.
On the way to his, he gets the pen out. We put out tag everywhere, on every wall, every drive, every garage door, his name and my name together. Me and him..together. The pen passes from him to me and back again. No hearts, just our tag - exactly as we are side by side on everything on the way to his.
And then we're outside the door and he says: Well then..I love you. But we won't ever see each other again.
