In sixth grade, I asked her if she would be my girlfriend. She said no. It took 13 years before we came across each other again. An evening with free cans of beer and rock music. Later she sat on the back of my bike as the sun rised over Nørrebro. She became my first real girlfriend.

We were together for six years. But as the champagne and Sunday joints were taken over by everyday life and adulthood, we got problems. We had difficulties in the transition from youth to adulthood. I moved out, and we didn´t see each other in six months.

We couldn’t live together, but neither could we live without each other. This story is about rediscovering love. To remember that it is never too late to give unique things a second chance.
