Scent of You

I closed my eyes as He passed by
A complete stranger out of blue
As I gasped for breath with deep sigh
Flooded with floral dreams so true
Except that it was HIM not YOU

The scent of lavenders all around
Put a spell to drift me back in while
Hand in hand lying on soft ground
somewhere in flowers your devilish smile
Slowly those memories reconcile

That freshness of hue that felt Forever
No matter how I try to repent
It rushed my mind with forced endeavor  
Like a gush of wind it came and went
Left me smiling at the same old scent
