It was a cold morning,

it was the first awakening over those sheets,

there was coffee ready to fill our bodies,

there were aged buildings to fill our soul.

We walked the town,

we crossed their streets,

we felt alive.

There were crowded sites,

there were empty alleys,

there was food at each corner,

there was wine in our veins.

We were there,

side by side,

there we were happy,

there we were alive.

Rome, Italy, 2017.
