Nostalgia feelings...

Nostalgia: a longing for the past.

Is there such a thing as nostalgic pangs? Well, similar to hunger pangs that is. Hah! Maybe someone, something, somewhere we experience some point in life would give us the feeling of nostalgia. A reminder of a memory either of a person/or people, an event, a feeling yadaaaa..

This term was actually used by soldiers who were suffering from combat fatigue which led to the obsessions of returning home. But after all these years, people have somehow changed the meaning. And now it usually means dwelling on the past.

I feel that the feeling of nostalgia cannot be ignored when it's evoked. And this feeling is usually associated with emotions that are more to the sad side. Probably because certain things in the past we yearn for. Or we wish could happen again.

To me, nostalgia is quite a beautiful feeling... what about you?

The nostalgic feelings I try to understand
Something, some place, someone, some where in time.

Whisked back into the past

Where memory is all that lasts

Wishing you were there once again

Hoping things were still the same

Tears of sadness, maybe of joy

Certain feelings you just can't toy

A moment in time you wish to freeze

Wishing this moment would never cease

There's nothing we can do to stop the time

looking back at memories at its prime

Nostalgic feelings you can't ignore

Nostalgic feelings might make you sore

Nostalgic feelings you sometimes have

Nostalgic feelings and its aftermath...

Living in the past...
