Nostalgia

by JustAFoolInLove   Mar 8, 2006


It seems like years since then,
Since everything was always wrong
Since life in a nutshell was depression
And we found our lives in every song

When poems and reading were our days
And nothing seemed to stop the knives
When attention was all we ever wanted
And we tried to take our lives

When weâ??d find ourselves at midnight
Talking about our lives and pain
And weâ??d always end up so depressed
And it seemed weâ??d nothing to gain

I lost so many friendships, then
Too many, it seemed, to bear
But it seems as though I made it through
And could have done without the scare

Well, I donâ??t know about old friends,
The ones Iâ??ve long since left behind,
To the ones I promised letters
But never wrote or signed

I donâ??t know about al them,
But I still scream out some nights
After everyoneâ??s gone to bed
And weâ??ve turned out all the lights

I scream to try and find myself
In this busy life of mine
To try and find some substance
Or someone true and kind

Truth be told, Iâ??m lonely
And I long for someone to love
God in heaven knows all this
From the prayers Iâ??ve send above

And while some older friendships last
The best oneâ??s faded away
I wish that Iâ??d been better to them
And I regret it nearly every day

    You're too good for regret.

    But nostalgia can't be that bad if it reminds you how good you actually had it back then. It should help you realize that you probably don't have it so bad right now either...

    Not to mention, it reminds you of all of your old friends!!

    Don't linger in regret, because you might miss the chance to do something great... which will lead to more regret...

    The best friendships faded? Well, damnit, let's repaint them! Or... revive them! :)

    Don't be lonely... God's got a plan for you...

    I am so proud of you... you make each day worth living and you have since the day I met you. I don't know if this will ever mean as much to you as it does to me but zac you saved my life a million times and you are probably the one person that never ever left my side. I am so so happy that you made it through everything. You will find love because you have so much to offer and you are so incredible. You're only fifteen. Be content with yourself and love will come when it is ready. You're not going to be alone forever because any girl would be lucky to have you. (she just has to get along with me first... we can't have any b:tchy people in your life but me) truth be told... your perfect and you are the greatest friend i could have ever asked for. I love ya to death zacy!!! and i am always here to talk and listen

    I've been feeling like this a lot lately too. It just sucks that now there's so few people who are still around that were with me when all that stuff happened. I miss the connection that you and I had then. It just seems to me like people are forgetting about it all. Instead of learning from it, they just want to block it out, and I honestly don't want that to happen.

    I hope you can make a connection like the ones we had during that time. With anybody. I hope it all works out for you.

    I really did love this poem. Best thing I've read in a long, long time. I've missed your writing. Please, keep sharing.
