You taught me that I need people who don't like Starbucks in my life. You taught me to not believe the signs in the city saying 'homemade Italian gelato' until I had tasted homemade Italian gelato. You taught me not to love until the only thing I can taste in my mouth and in my heart and in my soul was something stronger than any other describable desire. Well.... I think what all that means is I need you in my life. I need you to take me to pretty cafés. Not Starbucks. And I need to have gelato with you in every parlour in Italy. Just to compare all the flavours. But most importantly. I realise now you want me to love you and hold you in my heart forever. Because that overwhelming feeling of 'love' that you speak of is pretty similar to the feeling I get when I'm with you.
You were such a beautiful teacher.. I wish you could have stayed..
