Obsession

Obsession for me
Brings back a beautiful memory
Of being collected
Without it expected

Opening a car door
And nearly falling to the floor 
Because of a gorgeous smell
I remember so well

My colleague was kind
And patient too
Which meant a lot as I was new

Student nursing days
Went by in a haze
And I encountered many a smell
On which I will not dwell 

Even though there has been much progression
I will never forget the beautiful scent of obsession
