Sometimes

Sometimes I smell your hair on the pillow when I wake from restless sleep, yawning. Sometimes I taste your toothpaste kiss whilst brushing my teeth in the morning. Sometimes I detect a frissance of perfume in the most unexpected places. Sometimes I see your crooked smile, unexpectedly, on complete strangers faces. Sometimes I forget that you're no longer here and hear your voice softly calling. Sometimes I feel your untimely death is cruel, unfathomable and appalling.

I do think our senses heighten in grief, I could be wrong but once had similar experience to this. I like to view it they have made their presence known in a brief visit to us. Emilia.
