The Scent of You

The scent of you
on my sheets
Lingers subtly
after you’re gone

The memory of you
smiling at me
Creates a longing
to see it again

The sight of what
you built for me
A surge of pride
passes through me

The sounds of music
left behind by you
Caresses my soul
thankful for the gift

The taste of your bounty
prepared perfectly
Eases the hunger
sustains the body

The touch of your hand
holding my hand
Carefully guiding
ever supporting

The scent of you
on my pillow
Lingers taunting
now that you’re gone
