blessing of the moment

all it takes
is one breath
of that deadly scent
a scent i haven't found in years
the combination lethal
your cologne
and your incense
and your weed

it's been nearly three years
since that beautiful night
the night you left
we knew it was coming
i knew to not attach
myself to you

it's been nearly three years
i could smell you today
you were everywhere
for the first time since you left
all it took
was that one breath
and all the memories
of those short four weeks together
came flooding back
every moment

i don't regret, though
i don't want to live it again
but it was beautiful
we've both moved on
to better things
and worse
but i know we're living well
because of each other

and i secretly hope
you remember me
and that my scent is just
as deadly to you
as yours is to me

cheers
