I remember seeing the plantations and fine red earth. It wasnt as humid as eveyrone said it would be.

The house we rented was perfect. Situated along the mountain in Haiku, at the edge of the rainforest.

I can still smell cool misty mornings and hear the birds singing lovely tropical songs.

Ocean flavors beat into my mind, crashing like so many waves. I loved the water. She watched me, in all my boyish curiosity and excitement. Jumping up at the discovery of a beautiful fish, grabbing every seacumcumber and only coming up for air.

Beautiful nights. I was hers, she was mine. We could would sit on the beach listening to the beautiful music of Maui. Part of my soul is there. Part of it was awakened. I was reborn there.

But its also when I truly realised, our fate. Her dispondency. It began long ago. Maybe it was always there. I was naive. Didnt see everything coming.

Ill never forget Hawaii.
