Insomnia and Nostalgia

Each person has a lonely night Where their mind thinks and wanders Wishing all night to go to sleep Yet, all they do is ponder It causes faith to be lost When these two things do entwine Childhood hobbies, now all gone And only left in the mind How one wishes to bring it all back To life where it brings them joy The summer-break trips and family reunions Or each Christmas with an awesome new toy Can it be seen, nowadays That everyone has these moments Flashbacks that make them wish once more To be young, sadly those dreams remain dormant These restless nights one can endure Makes the mind and soul grow weak So many things from the present and past That are all things they seek It is not a trip to Istanbul Or a winning lottery ticket It is the simple pleasures one has in life And the memories, that will make it
