Nostalgia: Part 2

I see you in daydreams.

Awakened by the simplest nostalgia.

The smell of pine

& I see all the knots well worn into the floor

where our Christmas tree goes every year.

That song on the radio

& I see dancing around our bedroom

Tipsy on the promise that this will get better.

The taste of root beer

& I see friendships made of gold.

The kindness of kings is fickle.

it’s bittersweet for a reason.

I put up our Christmas tree alone.

I was too dizzy to see I was dancing on my own.

And those friendships had loyalty only to you.

I see you in daydreams.

But I rememdber the reality too
