NUESTRA VOZ - ¿Queenstown, aún me amas?

Posted 28 September, 2023

Me enamoré de ti desde que te vi por primera vez. Hasta te presenté a mis padres y quedaron encantados. No podía creer que me estabas recibiendo con los brazos abiertos.

Me sentí en confianza de inmediato, me entregaste una seguridad que nunca antes había sentido. Me envolviste en tus montañas, me cautivaste con tu hermoso paisaje, el lago y verde, mucho verde.

Sentí que esto iba a ser siempre igual o incluso mejor. Sin embargo, este último tiempo te he sentido extraño e incluso distante. Ya no me hablas como antes, no me das mucha atención. Te siento distraído y desconectado.

Pareciera que estás más preocupado de tu carrera y lo entiendo, y estoy orgullosa de tu éxito, y eso creo que fue una de las cosas que me atrajo hacia ti, pero ahora que has llegado tan lejos pareciera que te has olvidado de las cosas simples.

No quiero que me trates de impresionar con tus lujos y ropa de marca, sólo quiero pasar tiempo contigo y nuestros amigos ¿Te acuerdas cuando íbamos a ese café local que nos encantaba? Ahora ese acogedor lugar sólo es un edificio frío, sin identidad…casi como siento se ha vuelto nuestra conexión.

Te solía encantar la naturaleza y tu comunidad, pero ahora sólo estás cubierto de barreras y conos, y nunca me das explicaciones.

Los consecuencias de tu éxito están haciendo que los que te aman luchen día a día. Te quiero tanto que deseo que las cosas funcionen, mas tú debes decirme qué hacer para recomponer esta relación ¿Me estoy aferrando a un amor no correspondido o es que sólo estás confundido?

Entiendo que quieras atrapar amantes pasajeros, pero yo estoy aquí para quedarme, acompañarte y ayudarte a crecer, así como lo he hecho desde que te conocí.

Hemos sido muy felices y también enfrentado oscuros momentos de incertidumbre, pero salimos adelante juntos y sentí que éramos más fuertes que nunca. No obstante, ahora siento que te olvidaste de mí y de quienes te han ayudado en el camino.

Conozco los círculos en los que has tenido que estar para crecer, pero siento que la influencia de algunos te ha hecho empujar a la gente que realmente te aprecia y que estará contigo, incluso cuando los tiempos sean difíciles.

Estoy agradecida por los momentos que hemos pasado juntos. Entiendo que todos hemos cambiado y crecido, pero sé que aún conservas la esencia y personalidad que me hizo enamorarme de ti; y esa bondad que tus amigos y familia adoran.

Con la llegada de la primavera me siento más optimista. Estas últimas semanas tuve una sensación en mi estómago y me quise convencer de que eran mariposas, como cuando nos conocimos por primera vez. Sin embargo, creo que es esa extraña emoción cuando no sabes qué vendrá en el futuro. Por eso, sólo quiero saber , ¿Queenstown, aún me amas?

 

 

English translation:

Queenstown, don't you love me?

I've been in love with you since I saw you for the first time. Until you present yourself to my enchanted fathers and falls. I couldn't believe that you were welcoming me with open arms.

I felt instantly confident, you gave me a security that I had never felt before. You enveloped me in your mountains, you captivated me with your beautiful landscape, the lake and green, very green.

I felt that I was going to be always equal or even better. However, this last time has felt strange and even distant. You don't talk to me like before, you don't give me much attention. I feel distracted and disconnected.

It seems like you're more worried about your career and understanding it, and I'm proud of your success, and I think it was one of the things that attracted me to you, but now that you've arrived so many times it seems like you've forgotten about the simple things.

I don't want you to try to impress me with your branded clothes and luxury, I just want to spend time with you and our friends. Will you help you when we go to that local cafe that enchants us? Now this cozy place is just a cold building, without identity… as I feel if there is a return to our connection.

I could only enchant nature and your community, but now you're only covered in barriers and problems, and you never give me explanations.

The consequences of your success are happening to those who love you day after day. I want you so much that I want things to work, but you have to decide what to do to put this relationship back together. Am I holding on to unrequited love or are you just confused?

I understand that you want to trap passing lovers, but I'm here to help you, accompany you and help you grow, just like I've been since I met you.

We have been very happy and have also faced dark moments of uncertainty, but we have continued to grow together and felt that we were stronger than ever. However, now I feel like you forgot about me and helped me along the way.

I know the circles in those that have had to be there to grow, but I feel that the influence of some people has helped to push people who really appreciate you and who will be with you, even when times are difficult.

I'm grateful for the moments we spent together. I understand that we have all changed and grown, but I still retain the essence and personality that makes me fall in love with you; and that kindness that your friends and family adore.

With the arrival of spring I feel more optimistic. These last few weeks I've had a sensation in my stomach and I've wanted to convince myself that they were moths, like when we met for the first time. However, I believe that this weird emotion is when you don't know what will happen in the future. So, I just want to know, Queenstown, don't you love me?
