Nostalgia

How much is your childhood worth? What would you give to take a stroll down memory lane and relive the days of yesteryears where happiness is found in its purest form, tainted only by each grain of sand that seeps through the hour glass?

I had the most surreal and nostalgic experience playing reminiscence with two long lost friends over the Internet. It was quite amazing, how friends that I had lost touch with for 15yrs could just get together to unravel lost memories tucked behind some dusty corners of our minds. It is like finding a bag of marbles which you hid under a broken floor board a decade ago. Each glass bead will remind you of an instance and an emotion which you experienced during your otherwise forgotten childhood. This feeling is like a soothing taste of toffee, heartfelt and warm. It is a moment where you look back and whisper to yourself, ‘I remember’….. …

I remember the laughter; wholesome and innocent. I remember the friendships; untainted and honest. I remember the tears; naïve and earnest.

I really wish for an opportunity to sit down and play catch up with these long lost friends, because they are the only bridge to some very potent memories, memories that deserve to be relived just so that I may treasure them even more dearly.
