Another thing...
I understand. I really do... I don't just pretend to...
Everything you've wrote about Chile, I've felt about Oz (just replace the country name haha).
I never felt homesick until I came back to the States. While I was there I felt as if my faith in humanity had been restored and I had finally discovered a place I could exist in where I wouldn't be constantly nauseated by the decay and greed of modern society. Where people ENJOYED life and didn't simply see every day as a monotonous means to an end. Where EVERYONE appreciates the beauty of their surroundings... perhaps because their surroundings aren't all buildings and billboards but oceans, rainforests and deserts. Where people don't need a credit check to trust you.
I remember one night I was alone in the city (I use that term loosely), walking barefoot across the street in the rain, and I smiled and thought to my self "I haven't been this happy in so long". The entire atmosphere of the country is different. The worst moments there were still better than some of the best here. It's as if I were in a completely different state of being. I miss it every day. And every day there's a part of me that feels I don't belong here. I miss being in a place where everyone understands.
I think that's why I love you as much as I do...
You're the closest thing to that here in the States.
You're like a little bit of Oz every day... you almost embody that atmosphere... because you GET IT.
You're the one person I can trust to understand.
"You see the world just like I do and all the people whose money rule their mind
And when I need to feel something real... you save me every time."
sound familiar?
