but the scent 

remains something sweet,

more potent now

And memories of you

May have lost their colour

perfume the air

And vibrant longing

is awoken

You are not there

But your aroma follows me everywhere.


The blossom is rotten

The colour gone

I've not forgotten

The sweet scent of your memory

lingers on
