Patchouli

What I’d like to give you, is an ounce of my cologne
     Sweet masculine patchouli, signature of my own,
          The musky smell I was wearing when we first met.

          I’ll leave the memory with you with faintest regret
     Somewhere in the distant past it lingers in the air,
Reminding me of a time when all our love was fair.
