Analysis of NOSTALGIA
Turning through the pages of that same old diary,
Nostalgia ruled over the whole of me.
Of reckless thoughts yet confusing,
Words remained unexpressed.
Lost amidst the known spaces.
A year passed by...
The more I realised with each step we're moving far apart,
Probably you'll never find me again!
