ALS WIR TRÄUMTEN

As we were dreaming, the outskirts of Leipzig were the world. The GDR had gone and we still were there. Pitbull was not a pusher yet. Mark was not dead yet. Rico was the greatest boxer and Starlet the most beautiful girl, but she didn’t love me the way I loved her. Everything changed. For us it was the best of times.
