reminiscing

Reminiscing about the prom I never had,

the one I'd imagined differently.

I thought the room would be dimly lit,

in a soft shade of blue.

And there would've been a bowl of red punch

just like in the movies,

and slow dancing to old hits playing on loud speakers,

and a bigger smile on my face.

Instead I got a bad meal

with people I barely knew,

and vodka sodas,

and plastic furniture,

and drunken yelling.

 

Yet, between hollow goodbyes and speeches

and promises of reunions,

there were a few good moments with the people

I would actually continue talking to after that night.

I wish the latter would've played a bigger part

in the whole thing;

I wish I could do it all over again.

False nostalgia

I live part of my life in the past,

feeling nostalgia for the days I wasn't yet alive for;

immersing myself in the culture I was never a part of.

 

I buy old clothes and beat-up books

and let the smells seep into my room.

I close my eyes and breathe in,

immagining the world as it was then;

 

With my grandfather's old 45's playing in the background.
