I can't go on, holding on to time

All it takes is a maudlin "love theme from" soundtrack song to shoot me back to not the feeling that it first prompted, but nostalgia for that feeling. 

Or, maybe it's feeling the gap where my longing little heart once was. What is there to long for now, except the longing back then? 

It's funny: the words that are embroidered all over this feeling, that I keep hearing, are ones introduced to me at the start of this era, in first semester freshman English (which, I discovered, you can procure on a welcome mat).
