I thought we could go back

To when things were simple and plain;

I was lingering in a lost dream.

Excellent! This is such a simple poem, but it evicted so many memories and emotions for me. Even in only three lines, this hit deep for me. I have done this so many times, just lost myself in thought and a wish to return something lost or past, and even knowing it's nothing more than a hope, it still means enough to let myself dwell upon every now and then. This is amazing, thank you for this
