Nostalgia

Nostalgia: that bittersweet feeling, the perfect mix of both positive and negative emotions, the mind boggling mystery leaving you stuck between past and future in your present experience. Reminiscing about things that have come to pass. Euphoric and grateful for what had occurred then suddenly saddened by the reality that what's in the past is gone, never to be relived. The things you lost, you can never be returned, the people you used to call friends gone dead buried. The ex whose hand you use to hold now in the arms of another lover. The sweet innocence of childhood memories drifting away never to return. Your heart sinks with despair at the loss of a once lived past.
