Old songs and old memories

While I was updating my song library today, I uncovered in a forlorn CD case an old compilation that I had created in 2005 creatively named "Assorted Mix August 05", without much expectation and no anticipation, I impulsively placed it into my computer...and the melodies that rang out swept me off my feet, the memories that flooded back at the sound of those old songs that I had long forgotten but used to played repeatedly over and over again, it was like a siren call, instant, irresistable.... pulling me back to a younger, less self assured, less wordly self....to long hours pouring over uni books and assignments...innocence...frivolous loves and mild obsessions over anime and a tall tanned boy, persimmons and white writing paper and questions like what is the meaning of life...
