Phone rings.
I hear your voice.
Throws me back in time.
An immediate smile spreads across my face.
Then it hits me.
It's not you.
It's where your voice
Takes me.
A decade and a half ago.
Back to a time when I was young,
When I was carefree,
When life seemed so much bigger.
It was so much easier then,
Yet so much harder to deal with.
I hang up the phone
And smile again.
I wonder
Another decade and a half from now
What I would say about how things seemed
Today.

Amazing how much we change over the years. Nostalgia is lovely until reality hits.

MsB, That evokes a feeling that just washes over you huh? Its so much more than Nostalgia.. about how things could be, how they are and how they can be so much more than we sometimes choose to expect..
Well writ, I'll be bach for more :)
