when we were young and carefree

bold in our dreams

i remember

looking up at the sky

to see

mystery blinking in stars so distant


distant like the future


that became the now.


i look up at the sky

it's still "the same", still there. always was.

but i see it differently, the past wonder is lost.

the beauty has escaped me, my mind has gotten old. i cherish the memories

alive, still, to behold.

nostalgia is a magical feeling. the feeling of biased memory that remembers only the beauty of the unrecoverable past; the feeling of desire for the bygone times that feel like a dream, a different life, a treasure that's locked behind a fog. it feels like a cup of tea on a late October evening. it has the smell of the crisp winter air we breathed while playing in snow. carefree. dreamy. cozy. something that can never be recovered and new pieces keep being added

and no matter how many times we've been there, we never learn: this small, inconspicuous moment will become the gold of the past tomorrow... in a year... in a decade.
