I heard once, It's better than nothing

I heard once

smell is the most powerful

trigger of emotion.

I, for one, don't

doubt it.

 

For two days after

seeing you,

I smelled faintly of you.

That mere fact

made me so happy.

 

It was as if you were there.

Enveloping me.

If not with love,

at least with something.

 

It's better than nothing.
