Love in the time of waiting


i walked in Ramallah today, downtown Ramallah, walked for 3 hours, just going around, crossing the only street back and forth with no reason except wasting time..i told her that i will call her later to see if i can go to her place, and since that call i began wasting time, for the first time since a long time i had this feeling that i need to waste time, waiting for the time to see her, a state of waiting.. i walked in the streets, met people that i haven't meet for a long time, people that i only meet in the downtown, Welcome back man, where have you been?? someone came to me and said. In another city, In the alternative Ramallah, i replayed, and kept on wondering in the streets.. i saw new shops that weren't there before, new shops that are selling the same things that the old shops sell, but with new decoration, people wondering in the streets like me, with different reasons.. i walked and waited, but i wasn't looking at the time, i said when i feel tired, i will call her, and began waiting for my tiredness.. Ramallah downtown became a state of time, wasted time. She bacame a stete of a city, she became Ramallah Downtown.
