The wind in my hair
The wind in my hair
The thing about nostalgia
It grabs you out of nowhere
Flips you on your head
Blurs your vision, trips your step
Makes you remember a past that never was
Takes you down an old road
Then leaves you there alone
At the time it feels like the summer breeze
You beg to be caught up in it
Flirt your way in
But ‘when all is said and done’
It was only a dream of what was not
Wind in my hair didn’t feel so good back then
I dreamt instead of air conditioning
So what is it that I miss
Is it the past or the present that missed the mark
It can be hard to focus looking backwards
I sweep my hair aside
Engage in the current day
And leave melancholy to the wind
~ Camille
