Déjà vu

I see a flock of pigeons in the sky. 

The sound of the church bell reminds me of the time. 

The red buses are everywhere. 

The subway scenario. The Vespa motorcycles.

 The cafeterias. The ruins. 

And everyone’s eating gelato even it’s freezing outside. 

This place is familiar.

“If you toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, 
you will ensure a return trip to Rome.”

It was summer 2012. 
I got my passport stamped.
 I tossed a coin. And threw my wish.

After a couple of months, I am back for real. 
And I just fell in love with the city. Again.

From Michelangelo to Da Vinci, ancient to modern, painting to graffiti, 

pasta to pizza, olive oil to balsamic vinegar, cappuccino to croissant, 

The Eternal City never fails to take my breath away.

Si, I always feel at home when I'm in Rome.
