Nostalgia

Cairo - Downtown, 13.01.2016

Cairo, Egypt - Downtown - Mohamed Mahmoud - Bab Ellouk - DSB 

I felt I want to have a walk in downtown. The sky was perfectly pure blue and the sun was beautifully warm shining. I walked with no intention nor a specific aim. I left my foot to lead the walk. And all of a sudden a storm of nostalgia and mixture of emotions hit me. All the memories, all the hard times, long nights and struggles were right infront of me. Now, I remember everything. It feels so real. It feels so fresh as if it was just yesterday. And here we are again. Who thought that this day would come again? And who thought that we would ever meet once again? I never thought that I will be standing here again, but this time without the bright blue skirt and the yellow blouse and fully aware of the adulthood. With a surprise, it was right in front of me. These dark orange walls that once used to look too high and it's bright green windows... but it seems that nothing has changed ever since then.

With hight curiosity I walked around the orange walls... with wide open eager eyes trying to see through what's happening behind these walls. I heard chatters behind these wall. I'm wondering if anything has changed after all of these years?

One day in the past, it used to be called home for I dont know how many years. Lots of memories are craved and left behind and never thought of since I abandoned it. Maybe one day there will come a day were we will be reunited and we will have to share and go through all the same phases and memories that we have once gone through again in a definite time, different context and distinct folks... All I know that right at this very moment.. That I miss it and I miss us. Who knows what the future holds for us?
