His Aroma

His plaid blue sweater she held tight every time he was gone

His smell always waited for her as if he had stayed instead of leaving

She could practically feel his fingers caressing her hair

As he kisses her forehead down to her cheek, on to her lips, pulling on to her hips

As she smells his lingering aroma once more

Her memory jogs back to the first date remembering a gentleman opening her door before her hand could even reach

She felt so safe with him and decided to open the door to her heart

As he stepped in he stayed not like the others

She was happy not like before

It was different and it was forever, she knew without a doubt

p.s. his blue sweater took her back to memory lane and made her night…
