Sweet Memories

Memories lift you up, bring a smile to your face,
One thing leads to other, nostalgia finds space.
Positive emotions swell, you reach out to old friends,
They're same old- quirky and informal- your hesitation ends.

Sweet are the hallowed memories, memories of sweet nothings,
Sweet were the old friends, and I, a sweeter version, methinks. 
The more I reminiscence, the more stuff I unearth that's sweet,
I can go on a roller coaster of memories, without missing a beat. 

I am a connoisseur of sweets, some say I am diabetes prone,
Excess of anything is harmful, I'm now feeling all alone.
The more fun I seemed to have in the past, the more I am missing now, 
That my golden years would be my nemesis, who would've thought, holy cow!   

Memories weigh you down, take their toll,
Past looms larger, and the future seems small.
