Nostalgia

The scent of the brisk fall air

chills me to the bone.

The heartache in your stare

sensing pain within your soul.

Years before, carefree and young

now just another chapter closed.

Back when we used to simply run,

Happy to be anywhere but home…

Long days meshed into longer nights,

the frigid air kept us close,

friends vowed to never leave your side.

Those days now seem so long ago.

I miss the people we were back then,

inevitably time has changed us all.

At least I still have you, my dear friend

and nostalgic memories of fall.
