Nostalgia

Nostalgia is a funny thing.
Tonight it sucks me in with pictures,
old words,
old ideas.
It makes me replay my life in different scenarios
from that point forward.
If I had said yes.
If she had opened the door.
If actions had been taken.
If words had been said.
If paths moved differently.
But it is time to climb back to the now.
That life would not be this life.
And this life is mine.
Good night, Nostalgia.
