Nostalgia

I cringe every time I hear this word

It reminds me of how you could never let go of the past

 

Clinging on to anything else

Than the most important thing to me-

the moment we were living in

 

I was building memories then

The ones that play over and over in my head now

And you were trying to forget then

I think you must be an expert in forgetting now

 

I wonder if you think of us, nostalgia and all

And it makes me cringe, all over again
