Those were the days, or were they?

What makes you feel nostalgic?

A runny egg with toasted soldiers

Cute matching hats embroidered with “His” and “Hers”

Sledding through snow on a tin tray

Going to restaurants and not having to pay

Living the life free of worry

Never being told you have to hurry.

For what was I being trained to do

And everyday learning something new

Was to do things better than anyone else

To be ahead made so much sense

Except when I was left behind

And all I could do was remind

That in the past I had had a life

That was when you were my wife.

The End or maybe The Beginning.💘

  1. Simple memories, softly told, carrying both warmth and ache.
    It lingers in the best way—like nostalgia often does.
