Nostalgia by SGirven

The nostalgia overtakes me As I rustle through my photo album

My mind aches for the calm of youth As I remember my mistakes and my mastery

With age comes burden and morality With youth comes curiosity and imagination

I must no longer be chained to my youth For with manhood comes bigger equations That youth won’t permit allow me to solve

The nostalgia overtakes me As I ponder the thoughts of my past

My mind races through the present As I reach out through the future

With age comes death But the memories remain

For the nostalgia to overtake
