I am Alexandria


I’m Alexandria, you are the sea. You are Alexandria, I’m the sea. Alexandria is ancient, beautiful and graceful while the sea is massive, unpredictable and rough. Alexandria and the sea, an eternal story, a story of love, belonging and longing. Everyday the sea caresses the city, kisses its beaches and whispers to its sons. The city gazes at the beauty of the sea as it slowly crumbles. Some days the breezes hurts.

Alexandria, exhaust her and add wrinkles to her old facades. They told us the sea is harsh, didn’t they? May be this is how his love is shown? A possessive strong love that is eating the city Alexander the Great dreamy of. Alexandria, they say the sea will embrace you soon, it’s salty water will cover the wooden chairs of your coffee shops, the marble statues in your locked museums, the lovers, lunatics and beggars filling your streets. May be this is the price you had to pay for loving the sea. Every lover will pay for his love one day. Alexandria you loved the sea, and only god knows what will I pay?
