Scent of a Promise

You said to be strong That together we belong You promised it won’t be long Until the love is won, Hope you are not wrong Scented candles’ slow burn Releases an aromatic churn Our hearts beat as swan Sparkling flavours in wine Intoxicated on this drunken air The mesmerising smell you wear Perfume of never ending laughter Unforgettable smile of forever after We cremated our doubts In a fire of red rose pedals Holding onto what we have When our hearts nosedive You said to be strong That together we belong You promised it won’t be long Until the love is won, Hope you are not wrong Scented love’s yearn For a nose this way to turn For dried up dreams to drink Quench their thirst too weak Everything’s moving too fast There’s no time for regrets, And our shaken hearts combine Into love’s unmistakable tune We buried our past When love seemed out of sight The sunlight was never so bright In your unmasked, scented bouquet For this love was made strong Together, forever we belong The promise came true True love for me and you Hope inspired this song
