And as I stood there in the isle
She approached me and said
"Is there something I can help you with?
Something specific you are looking for?"
She smelled like cherries
"No"
I replied simply
But felt the pressure to explain myself
"It's just some perfumes I need to smell here"
I elaborated
"You have a list?"
She looked at me with a funny smile
"As a matter of fact I do"
I didn't say it but I do:
My way - that my ex Emily wore for our second date
Good girl - my office crush Julia wears it every day for work
Poeme - which I smelled on some beauty in the street a couple of days ago and just had to smell again
La vie est belle - that blonde girl wears it from time to time... What was her name?...
And so the list goes on
And I visit the fragrance isle every week
Just to reminisce
And memories of long blonde hair and soft breasts come to me. Or freckles and a little cheeky smile. A shared dinner in bed and the smell of roses. Or sex on my birthday which smelled like a tangy orange with a hint of vanilla.
I come here to drown in liquid fragrant memory
Of all that I have had
All that I could have had
And all that I ever wanted
