nos·tal·gia
noun
1. the sighs that escape your lungs as you flip through forgotten memories ignites a twinge of remembrance in your foggy mind.
2. is it sadness? no, it's something more intricate. a wistfulness that winds through your ribcage and snares on your veins. it makes you miss the once certain and resent the solidity of the present.
3. what if, you wonder, what if. it leads to if only and then you're chasing after something that you never can get back. it's not worth it, darling.
Note: do these feelings steal away your breath?
