Dear Roma

Dear Roma,
What we had was good while it lasted, in fact amazing.
You captured me with all your glorious intrigues
I often stood in awe just looking at you
My, you are sight to behold
You’re cuisine never ceased to amaze me
You had me at your Tiramisu
Though you were often cold, I foud warmth within your hospitality
You kept me entertained with your deep rooted culture
I enjoyed learning all about you
Your driving skills often frightened me
None the less, I survived.
Though my feelings for you run deep
I have to admit I had a few love affairs
While we were together I was seeing Amalfi, Pisa, Umbria, Siena, Pompeii, Florence, Capri, Greece,Verona, Venice, and Assisi (I wish I could have seen a few others too)
You can’t blame me, I couldn’t help myself and they were just too cheap to pass up!
I was really into Florence and had to leave too soon
Sorry to say, but Capri and Greece win the prize of most beautiful
But Pompeii and Umbria are no match for you
I would tell you that I will never see them again, but that would be a lie.
Perhaps I can give up Pompeii,
but with Tuscany I cannot let go
Dont worry Roma, you will always be at the top of my list
Something about your charm will always keep me coming back for more
I made a nice home with you
We shared some of our best moments together sweet Roma.
I love you, but I have to leave
America is calling my name and that’s where my heart is.
Please know that this doesn’t mean goodbye, but until next time

Love always April
