Nostalgic love,
a warm lap to lay your head -
never to be returned.

Nostalgic love,
forgetting the enmity -
and the fights that were yet to come.

Nostalgic love,
a piece of your heart dying in your chest -
move past and carry on.

Nostalgic love,
how you taunt me in photographs -
forever imaging what never was.

Nostalgic love,
longing for a place that is no more -
you can never return home once you've left.

Nostalgic love,
forever gone.
