You smell so nice
Like clean salt sweat
Soft soap and incense
Sweet scents stuck in your hair
Held there with quiet care
Then blown like embers through the air
Bearing familiarity and clarity
As I realize the rarity of what we share
A bond that'll carry on through posterity
Honored generations beyond when we pass into barbarity
They'll not remember our names nor those of our heirs
Not my contrary nature or your affair with despair
All they'll recall is the love we shared
Because it won't die with us
It'll stay on the wind
The sent of your perfume
The light of my grin
The joy you brought me
The hope we dared
The kisses I gave you
The life we shared
