Nostalgia is in the unforgettable taste
A flavor that will never leave my tongue
A memory that lies in my mind, displaced
Nostalgia is in the powerful scent
That sends my mind centuries back
To a day of youth with no repent
Nostalgia is in the wistful sounds
Of perpetual melodies and voices
Telling stories of our backgrounds
Nostalgia is in the clouded image
Matched with the feeling it brings
One more clear, an act of scrimmage
This bittersweet act of reminiscence
Bringing these painful feelings
To which the heart swells with happiness
