Notes About The Poem

Wistful

Waves of nostalgia and melancholy washes over me as 
I mourn the loss of the good ol' days; a somewhat...
Somber, prolonged trip down memory lane, ruminating over
The final days of freedom before going off to college!
Fun, innocent times with my buddies! Treasured memories made
Under the sun! I wish I could relive them all; I sure
Lived life to the fullest! Sadly, those days I'll never retrieve!

Your lines are very wistful, Edward. Sadly, we can only relive them in our cherished memories. Very nicely constructed.
