we listen to the soundtrack of our childhood memories

wishing we could play them again the same way they used to be

the echo of time passing making the sounds blur slightly

our mistakes and shortcomings weigh down as we reminisce of simpler times

tears and emotion stream down our faces and soak into our skin

the feeling only known as nostalgia overwhelming our senses

i want to drown in it

things will never be the same

though they will be that way for better or for worse, i miss those times

the feel of it all, not who i was

judge me as i am and not who i used to be

it hurts in the best way as i look back through fuzzy vhs lenses

though i am young, i still yearn for the pieces of my short past that made me

sculpting my malleable mind into this still evolving creature

take me back as i am, please

a boy whose childhood was wrong, and relive it as who i truly am

wash away the hurt and confusion

purify my soul with the innocence of a child's unscathed mind
