Nostalgia-The smell that stays

Memories so vivid, a fond nostalgia

Lingering in the air like an undiscovered oasis

Reminiscing on times of bliss and happiness

Sometimes a melancholic tinge coats it like dew

But I'd cherish all of it even if it's only but a few

The past is inscribed in us, like lines in a book

That will forever remain sealed unless opened with time to look.

The sweet scent of nostalgia,

A lifetime's worth of memories,

Moments not meant to stay,  

But forever live in the past.  

The smell that stays of fondness strong,

My heart will always hold its song.
