Nostalgia

Nostalgia hit me hard today.

It was as though

The last time was yesterday,

Although it had been in fact

Some long time ago.

All of those things

Those people, even those moments,

All of them felt so familiar

Yet again, as if I had never become a stranger

To them, ever.

The things which annoyed me yesterday,

Now seem so cherishable

And so precious.

That makes me wonder, what had made me

Pestered by them, some time prior.

It is as though, I never got out of those times

All of this is new, and yet

It seems as though, I have known all of this

And never separated from it.

My soul trying to absorb

All of it today, every single ounce of it

As though, someone shall take these moments

Away from me

As destiny had taken, some time prior.

Such a surreal feeling, an acquainted warmth

Seeping through my heart

Eyes glistened with

Tears of nostalgia, of a past

Which I felt had steered far away from me

But which had never left me.

I bask in the nostalgia today.
