Nostalgia's song

Some songs take me back......

Within notes we dance and sing

our hearts go on remembering

bittersweet, loves first kiss

to return our only wish

"You can't go home again" Thomas Wolfe But there are alternatives. We can stay at home or we can carry "home" with us in our hearts. "No matter where I go, I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks" from the song "Boondocks" by Little Big Town A first love can leave a lasting mark but it certainly isn't the "best" love. New love is like new shoes, pretty and shiny on the outside but uncomfortable as hell until broken in. Old love is like fine wine or a favorite pair of threadbare jeans; getting better with time, not so fancy looking on the outside but fitting like a warm glove in winter. I enjoyed the read. F.

Don't you know I just had to sign back on to comment regarding this Nostalgia's Song? Dave W., the final line, "to return our only wish"...?
Is your ONLY wish for something "impossible"...?
So few lines speak so many ... Here I go thinking too much again! Sorry Dave W.
Nice work.

Thank you so much for the kind review.

the only person who actually cares about me is a prostitute name Narumi. the moments we share together are magical, genuinely wonderful. i know im just a client to her, but i can tell she likes me (not that there's a future here or anything). i treat her right, and she gives me a lot of kisses. but this wont last obviously, and i already feel that this liaison is becoming just a memory...

The sadest part is knowing always about the temporality of the relationship, like knowing an end is coming but desparatly trying to hold on to the bits of happiness you, like sand slipping through your fingers. I hope you find that lasting happiness and a love who will value you greatly. I am always glad for our reveiws.

So much said in so few words, you chose them carefully and emotionally, Dave. Wishing you well on and offline.

[Dave W.]

It was a contest and the prompt was just Music in 20 words or less. I like the challenge, most deff wishing you well as well, always good to hear from you.

That's quite an entry and whilst if fits the bill so well, your words are warmly subtle. Good luck !
