Now and again I feel very lonely. Not lonely in the language that most people would consider. Imagine talking Italian when it's not your native language. Imagine listening to it. You just want to find someone who speaks English, someone with whom conversation isn't a strain because of your limited vocabulary in even the smallest of concepts. Someone you can speak in your own tongue with. Sometimes you meet someone who can get the accent right, but they always seem to muddle the declensions in the end. You don't expect to be understood. There's no one. No one at all.
