Romancing the Days of Yore

Nostalgia practically
Runs his life,
Yet if you listen to
All the things
He says he misses
From the times
Long, long ago,
You would notice
He reminisces
About a time
That never was.
It wasn’t so
Gentle and easy
Back then.
I think he remembers
The good times,
And has conveniently
Forgotten the bad.
He has apparently
Never made peace
With the present,
And lives in fear
Of what the future
Will bring,
So he spends his time
Romancing
The days of yore.
