I lie beside
your memory.
Coincidental glances
unveiled the
smell of desire,
a flourishing spring
of rendezvous
eclipsed by an
estranging summer.
I roll over to it.
Trying to grasp
every last bit,
it dissolves
at my touch,
and joins
the passing wind.
Your essence
now exudes
a fainting air,
dissipating as
the fragrance
of an aged
perfume.
Its smell lingers
on my neck,
yet I'm afraid
catching another breath
will take away
any prevailing scent
capable of rekindling
our story.
Threads of sunlight
sneak through
the curtains
while I wonder
if your aroma
will remain beside me
and if my memory
lies with you
Too.
