Dear Austin…
You only know a city through the people
Those who barely know you
But commit themselves to being wonderful hosts…
People who you didn’t know before
But ended up living in an apartment with.
From acquaintances to friends
Now we are brothers and sisters;
a family…
Special people like this professor
Who became the big brother,
An uncle and then a father
Who transformed me
To become someone better.
The man who is not going to let us go
Without a teardrop
You only know a city through its nights
The parties, the music and the crazy people
The 6th street…
You know a city by its energy
The walls and the creativity
The buildings and the symmetry
You know a city when you immerse yourself
and give all of you
You finally find its purest souls
