My Tunisian Awakening

Inspired by and dedicated to Afli-Fathia.

By Stanley Collymore

 

I have just experienced the most unexpected and

exhilarating experience I could ever have

imaged or hoped for while being on

holiday of all things; too

considerable for words and rightly so. I met

you: previously a complete stranger to

me but in the ensuing hours we were

together the transition of you from

stranger to some very special to

me wasn’t only dramatic but

was also in this remarkable

process significantly life-

changing as well.

For having reciprocally empathized with you

so instantaneously and to such an extent,

in ways that strangers rarely do, I

happily became aware on this

most incredible of Sundays -

30 January 2011 -  that I

was possibly falling

in love with you.
