Makes me think of Va Pensiero: "Oh, mia patria sì bella e perduta!"

I'll always love Rome, because it was the place that opened my eyes to the beauty of the world. But I know what you mean. I feel the same way when I have to go to London.

These places feel like they are ours. But they never really are. And one day, they leave us behind.
