"After Robert had seen Sharon again, after so many years, he could not help feeling a bit nostalgic about their days together back in high school."

Nostalgic, or feelings of nostalgia, refer to feelings that you have about past times, usually looking back on your younger days or on relationships or activities that you had in the past. It is sometimes a feeling of wistful longing to re-experience those things, as you felt them back in the past. Often refers to a time when a person was more innocent or naïve about life, or a sense of longing, or wishing,  for a simpler, less complicated way of life, as in one's childhood, or small-town life, in comparison with the complexity of adult ;life or life in the big city, etc. Older people tend to experience more nostalgic feelings than young people, simply because they have lived long enough to see and experience great changes in their own lives and in the life of society in general. Because of this, they often long for things to be like they were in the past. when they were younger, and their lives were simpler, less complicated or less busy. They may not like the way society has changed, or current values of morality, so they feel nostalgic about the way things were when they were kids or teenagers.
