It's a sweet story of two young people who meet on vacation. They're from different countries, but they understand each other and spend the entire vacation talking and holding hands. Due to a weather problem, she has to return home early—this isn't mentioned in the song—and he cries on the beach when she leaves. It seems like true love, one that needs nothing more than being together. They write to each other for 13 years, promising to see each other again. After 30 years, she finds him again, but he doesn't seem to remember her anymore, perhaps due to some trauma he's suffered. Yet she still feels their bond.
