Regretful of the past
in the sweetest way.
Lovingly longing for that potential
what could I be?
I wanted to change the world
unsatisfied with everything
and understanding nothing.
So long ago, so far away.
When I see that sun shining
in that same way,
When I smell that fresh cut grass
it brings a smile.
And when hear that song
that made me feel so free.
It all brings me back
to the loneliness that sparked
so many dreams.
The sight of the sun is
a fleeting sparkle.
That broad smile hides that lost tear.
And the smell is a memory.
It's a time lost forever.
I can take you there, and show you
but it plays like a movie.
Then leaves me wanting.
Still I long for it.
And lovingly mention it.
Sad but sweet, lonely but hopeful.
Forever long ago.
Take me back to this place
that defined me.
What would I change?


For some reason, this video always fills me with the saddest nostalgia. If you have the time, give it a listen if you're sad. Somehow even though it makes me sad, it lifts me up at the same time.

Electronic-terrorism, voice to skull and neuro monitoring on Hive and Steem. You can ignore this, but your going to wish you didnt soon.

I liked the way that "It all brings me back/ to the loneliness that sparked / so many dreams" captures the complex mix of feelings involved with nostalgia. The "it plays like a movie. / Then leaves me wanting." also struck me as being strong on that front. I liked other parts as well, but I thought those parts especially helped convey the theme.

Thank you for reading. I appreciate your kind words! I'm glad you liked it. :)

I love the sense of nostalgia this poem emits. "The sight of the sun is a fleeting sparkle" is also a brilliant line that I think makes one feel like one of the greatest things in our life can become tiny if you look at it the wrong way.

thank you. and thank you for reading c:
