Vivid touch, warm yet distant
For how long do you remember the smell of someone,
When did you notice you have forgotten?
And how fast it all flashes in a sensorial trigger, abstracted yet confining.

After all it was only a memory,
both recollecting the past and projecting to a newer reach.
A future memory and a past premonition.

That limbo
A timeframe that can be considered a double nostalgia.
Nostalgia is always prone to decision making
even if the outcome is stepping out from it.
It reminds you of what you want, what is next and what you once had.
That is how we've realized it's a memory
even when generationally speaking, we consciously lost sight from it.
