4 of 4 posts on my 7-day stay in Jordan

As my stay in Jordan neared the end, I looked forward to yet another important historical treasure – the ancient city of Jerash, considered to be one of the best preserved Greco-Roman provincial towns in the world. Dating back more than 6,500 years ago, Jerash was a thriving city due to its proximity to popular trading routes. The walled city was at its best around AD 130 during Emperor Hadrian’s rulership.

If I could be your paradise

Shubhi Rawat's avatarPerception

You’ll never be the one in pain

I’ll walk with you, hold you tight

Even when you’re down on your luck,

I’ll never let you go,

Never let you have the taste of sorrow

My hands are numb,

But they’ll always wrap you

Make you feel warm

If I could be your paradise,

I’ll be your home, your one true love

You’re my bird that’s meant to touch the sky

Why you’ve leashed yourself in a desolated abyss?

Let me try, let me fight

I’ll lure your demons away

Let me bring you back to sublimity

Let me spoil you in every beautiful way

You can cry, yes you can

I’ll be your shoulder, your savior

If I could be your paradise

I’ll give you million reasons to smile

Even if it takes me years or decades to reach you

I’ll still fall in the depths of your dark side,
