What does it mean when someone says to you "your my rome"?

Question

Then they say and for some reason i still think you can be troy

to do as every one else  but you can still be your self

Answer 2

i keep thinking to troy part means a down fall of some sort you know like the fall of troy with that whole helena thing was that her name ignore me if you think i don't know what i'm talking about because i don't

Answer 3

'you're my rome'... possibly all roads lead to you because 'all roads lead to Rome'.

There is a connection between the two since Rome was supposedly founded by Aeneas, a prince who escaped Troy when it fell but Im not sure what that would have to do with anything.

As for the Troy quote  - perhaps you're a place they would escape to, be sheltered by (like Helen fleeing her husband for a forbidden love) - either that or they're going to sneak into your city walls, slaughter all your men and children and carry off your women into forced slavery.  If they offer you a gift when they say that kind of thing - refuse.

Answer 4

Rome was a continuous project, i.e. Rome wasn't built in a day. Troy was a capital city-state a jewel of civilization, had the greatest human fighter ever known, Hector. The only reason he dies is because he faces a demi-god. So I think the meaning behind the saying is:

You're my work in progress, but I have hopes that someday you can be great.

Answer 5

Doesn't the saying go - When in Rome do as the Romans do?
