I can’t remember his scent.

I used to inhale

Whenever we hugged

Because he always smelled

Good and clean.

I miss breathing in

His must

And feeling his strong arms

Around me,

Gentle and caring

And safe.

I can’t remember his scent!

It’s fading from my memory,

No longer drifting

Through my mind

And tingling my nostrils

With sweat and love.

I can’t remember his scent,

And it scares me,

Because I’m losing

Another part

Of him

And I can’t let it go.

Why can’t I remember

His scent?
