This First Time Alone

This first time alone

It's been a month since I came, full of happiness and dreams and ideas

I was when I first arrived.

A lot of feelings got all mixed up in my heart .

I'm already missing my family, my friends.

My home is getting warm

I hope for a hug from my parents, for me this is the most important.

At the same time I feel I can obtain my goals by going through this experience.

Now my time has passed little by little and I feel like

I'm getting used to the customs and culture and the type of life.

Even though I don't have my sweet home.
