Was I in Africa? Mozambique? Was I?

Ah, Africa.

Africa, Mozambique.

Was I in Africa? Mozambique? Was I?

It was just one month ago. I was there... in Mozambique... with them.

But it's like a long time ago, like somewhere over the rainbow.

Yes, now I am back to society again. And I am good. Actually I am pretty fine.

But

Where are the black children playing everywhere?

Where is the sound of the animal I used to hear?

Where are the women carrying water on top of their head?

Where are the people who called me China?

Where are my students....teachers.....

Where is the chima...

Where......

I don't need a bunch of food.

I don't need lots of cars.

I don't need fancy people.

I don't need a nice house.

I just want to see their smile. That's all.

I cannot explain those feelings properly.

Just what I know is that I flu to USA from Mozambique, but my soul couldn't fly as fast as I did. So, it stayed behind somewhere on the way.

And one day it will come. And it will stay behind me somewhere else, again.

Days I cannot make return.

But days I really want to return.

I know that the days in Mozambique will be deep in my heart.

But it is sad that I only have to keep it in my heart.

I can just miss it there, and remember.

And it is the most sad things to do.

And it is the most sad things to do.

Ah, Africa...Mozambique...
