Nostalgia

For me,

each phase of my life is kinda represented by a song.

One which i kept listening to at that period of my life.

As i move on onto another phase of my life,

I forget those songs.

And sometimes, when i chance upon them again,

memories of what happened back then,

how i felt, what i did, what went through my mind at that point in time

starts to reappear again.

Like a sudden gush of wind, sometimes sweeping me off my feet.

The only difference is, it comes with a tinge of gold this time round.

Perhaps all things from the past are stained with a yellow hue.

Some of these events are just stuck with me,

i guess for life, for good.

I don't know whether this is good or bad, but i'm not going to judge them.

They form a part of me, they are a part of me.

At different phases of my life.

Whether they are good, bad, sweet or bitter,

i hope they're here to stay.

It's through all these experiences, that i learnt and grew.

Nostalgia is such a funny feeling.

And it amazes me how a song is able to do just that.
