~Nostalgia~
It's delicate, but potent.
The pain from an old wound.
A twinge in your heart..
Far more powerful than memory alone
A feeling of a place

Author's Note
Listening to 'WANTED U' by Joji.
I've had this idea for quite a while (of using a swimming pool as a metaphor for tears?

Sorry, poems can be like kids sometimes. Insisting and stubborn. Yet innocent. :')
How was it? Just 2 more poems to go. I'll end this book on 15th of September, a day which is the most special day of my life. More than my birthday. :')
