Kurt told our story differently.
1:31:05
Some of what we experienced
appeared in it.
1:31:07
Some things he changed.
1:31:09
lt was supposed to be a summer tale,
1:31:11
something people
could give their girlfriend.
1:31:14
A little story,
slightly ironic, tender,
1:31:18
with a colorful cover.
1:31:22
He died three years later,
1:31:24
not far from the place
where we had spent our summer.
1:31:29
l'll never forget his final words:
1:31:32
''You often think that
love is stronger than time,
1:31:35
but time is always
stronger than love.''
1:31:41
l was captivated by your lips
1:31:45
and completely at a loss.
1:31:50
You gave yourself to me
in the dense underbrush,
1:31:57
to and fro, to and fro.
1:32:02
And you asked
with your German pride,
1:32:06
if l had been to war that time.
