Michaela
It's nearly been a year
You try and give me back my clothes
The clothes that kept you warm at night when I couldn't
I try to say no
Hoping you will have them and look back on our time together
With the same smile i have when...
When I see you...
And you give me my jacket.
It still smells like you
Like staying up till 5am talking about the future
A future with you in it
It smells like kisses after weeks of being apart
It smells like butterflies in my stomach when I see you
It smells like travel
It smells like teasing you until you stop me with a kiss
It smells like anime
And video games
Making the most of a wasted afternoon
It smells like young love
It smells like hope...
Like wasted potential
A future that will never be
Like trying to hold water in your hands
Only for it to all seep through
Leaving you with nothing.
Nothing but a memories and a jacket
I like to think it was your favorite jacket
Not because it had your favorite show on the back
But because I gave it to you
It still smells like you
It smells like tears, loneliness
Unanswered calls and unopened texts
It smells like waiting for a response you aren't sure is going to come
It smells like sadness
Longing
Waiting
The smell will fade
The memories too
But for now
I'll take a deep breath
And just remember
