Viareggio, near Pisa (Italy)

Dear Ngwatilo,
I miss our chats dearly, you’ve disappeared so sompletely form my world that I’m afrai that meeting you, sharing with you my lil victories, holding you in my arms, I’m afraid that it was all a waking dream. I look forward to hearing from you someday, yet I know full well I might not.
