Lost in Recollections

Today I find myself a prisoner of memory. I find myself missing people that I used to be so close to, people I still hold dear to me. Everywhere I turn something reminds me of one of them. A flash of red, a magic card, the scent of garnier shampoo. I even saw a t-shirt today on a random stranger that made me think back to a day when all I did was talk for hours with a friend that I never see anymore, and I wonder why. Why, when everything is turning around for me, when my winds are changing and my goals are achievable, why now, what is it about these people that I can't let go of?
