Falling in love with a City

Have you ever had this feeling like no other to only one city, I have. This feeling has been haunting me for years, and it is my love to the city of Beirut. Sometimes I ask myself why is it so that im in love with a thing that wont give me love back? But then I remember that beirut has always given me love. Each time I dwell between the streets of this amazing city I feel enlightened, I look around and I find that the buildings are smiling back at me. I look back to the history of such  a great city and how it has risen from the last demolition of all the buildings in the 1980's Lebanese Civil War. You can still see some buildings with the bullets penetrating their walls, but they still look so good. In the midst of all the deforestation Lebanon is going through we can still see Beirut reserving its natural beauty, and most commonly in the greenest spot " AUB. " The heritage is still preserved through the architecture of the buildings in the Downtown Areas. The "Corniche" and the " Rawshe " the beach side walk and the two rocks at sea, both create such an amazing sight for relaxation. It has survived such great obstacles that no other city has, and I think it deserves more than our respect. It deserves our love.
-I Love Beirut.
