Nostalgia Isn't What It Used to Be

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be

Neither am I

Bewildered I am at how it turned out this way

Dreams and reality have to coexist

So they say

Unfortunately

That's the truth today

 

You see me and Casey had a good thing going

We were more than compatible

This was a love incomparable

We held hands, kissed on the street

We were happy, it was neat

 

This is the part where I get hurt

One day it was over, all in a blur

Something about us not being right

She moved out of the house and into the night

 

I'm not big on introspection

Now, I've no choice

I'm at the intersection

Of dreams and reality

With love somewhere in the middle

In search of a compass

Pointing to where I need to be
