 That's basically Mark's story. It's why he's the one of my friends who believes most fervently that finding love overseas is the way to go. The girl he's singing about is someone he grew up with. Mark says she was the smartest kid in their fifth grade class, but she was always approachable, and he liked that. He liked that they could joke together. After lessons, they would go to the beach and talk for hours, getting to know each other. He says she was the first person who taught him how to love.
