I can smell you when you’re not around
and then these other smells creep in
and take me away from you.
Whenever that smell enters my nose
it takes me back to Dawson
and the hug you gave me.
We stood in your room
surrounded by cords
and clothes and shoes.
Do you wear perfume?
I meant cologne.
It’s cologne, for men.
“You should.
It’s good for your significant other
to have a smell to associate with you.”
But we already have distinctive smells.
You already have a distinctive smell.
Do I have the staying power to corrupt your senses?
“What do I smell like?”
You smell like home,
like the future.
YOU ARE REMARKABLE
