Bab Touma!

I was never upset by standing there while I was waiting hours for…

I used to hear laughter and listen to talks there.

I used to smell the various kinds of perfumes when the beautiful ladies passed by…

I used to smell the scents of fresh fruits and nuts.

That was the only place where I felt  satisfied.

In that place, I feel that all people like me, and I feel that I know every person.

Every trip from that place must have ended with a small bag of nuts.

Every story about love passed from that place.

Every bird must have flown over place to learn something.

And now, how can I stop my inner soul shedding tears of pain and agony!
