Today I am in Rome again. I bought two more ice creams and stood there trying to see if you would pat me on the shoulder until the ice cream melted in my hands. Just when I was about to leave, I saw the person standing by the Mouth of Truth in the distance, hesitating whether to put his hand in, he looked like you, maybe it was you, but I never had the courage to go to you again. I saw that you didn't reach in anymore, and walked away slowly... The crowd drowned you in my eyes again.
