I won't tell you where. You wouldn't find it in your textbooks anyway.
And if I told you, you still wouldn't believe me.
I remember as a small child looking at the sky. When we were leaving. I remember the cold air and I remember the constant smell. I remember that road and your devotion and focus as we made our way out of there. I remember you holding my hand as we crossed the muddy courtyard on our way outside. It's still there. I remember my curiosity about a world I knew nothing about. It looks the same. Everything we know today, pushed back in time by about 40 years. I remember all the buildings and streets we passed when we left the city years ago. They look the same. I took a bus ride through the city recently and passed every one of them.
Your hand in mine, we walked thousands of miles.
