Poem: Nostalgia

Walking pass the shops, varieties of food presenting in sight.
Jellies, nuggets and many more, bringing him back to the past.
Days where he was once in love with all sorts of food.
Only sweet but no other tastes, able to cheer him with.
Years have gone, and the little boy too.
Becoming fine young man he has, with whole new perspectives and choices.
Not to mention he is now fond of other tastes too.
Sour and bitter, but no longer sweet for all.
Dealing with problems in life, he hides his past behind.
Forgetting what his world was, when he was once a child.
With the food from his time, his memories are back.
Flashing through his brain, he remembers them.
Friends in the park, together, they ran.
Searched all places in town, they ruled the area.
Fighting as usual, with papers and gangs.
And lastly, the parting gifts given by the pals.
Separated by miles of road, their friendship has come to an end.
Yet, times where they were summoned to the office is back on track.
As they are once connected again, talking about the past back then.
The bittersweet memories they had.
