You asked me what your scent is like.
You added a challenge by adding a twist to your question.
"What if you're going to describe it to a blind person?", you said.
I complained I'm tipsy and it's 3 in the morning-that question is too hard for me at this time.
Nonetheless, I drowned my face in your neck to breathe you.
"You smell like comfort, like clean fabric"
You weren't happy with my answer.
You wished I have said you have the scent of an *******.
Oh dear you don't, and I don't understand why you want to smell like one.
You wanted me to make a comparison between you and him.
I can't remember if I made one.
You thought it meant nothing.
You made me feel it meant nothing.
Honestly, I don't care anymore if it truly meant nothing to you.
The thought of it doesn't hurt.
You didn't know how much I adore the smell of clean fabric.
That scent takes me to my parents' house on a weekend-in my pink childhood room, resting on my bed with newly-changed sheets.
How I love that feeling-of calmness and safety.
It made me neglect I'm sad, lonely and afraid.
You were wrong about thinking it meant nothing to me.
