City that belongs to heR
This city never belonged to me. I was never really there to appreciate her. I was born in it and that is the whole story. To her it was different…
She came to this city on a boat and the first sights she has seen was almost like these. And she always tells the story about how beautiful it was…
I never felt that much love for the city, while I was still in love with it.Yet she saw what i couldn’t and felt what I was never able to understand.
Yet there is darkness lurking in every corner of this city yet she always saw the light at the end of it and never was optimistic about it.
It is a very beautiful gift, this city that belonged to her and my ability to see it through her eyes. Yet while I am never near to be able to say thank you, I still feel almost an obligation to show my gratitude for everything that she showed me. The time flies while we both are in the same city and we both are distant as the day and night, but it is not an excuse to give a flower and say “thank you, I feel blessed that you were born”.
