the smell of you

i remember the smell of your skin 
no, not the scents you wear, but the scent you are

musky and sweet and 
male 

i don't think i could ever forget that smell 

reaching out into the dark 
with the scent of you all around me
surrouding me 

i remember the feel of your touch
not just the touches that are laced
with urgent need
but the touches that are placed 
on my skin with love 

drowning in love 

i remember your smile
not the one that is for everyone 
but the one that is for me
i remember that smile 

i never thought it was possible
to fill a room with light 
with the movements of a few muscles 
but you do it 

oh, i remember you 
your laugh, the way you look at me
with those oh so perfected puppy dog eyes 
the sight of your freshly showered skin 

i remember the feeling 
in the pit of my stomach 
that this couldn't be real 
no way could i be this lucky
and i remember the feeling 
when i discovered that we shared 
the same soul 

these things 
only memories 
but they still live 
even though we're not 
touching under the cover of darkness 
even though we can't 
brush lips and make sparks

oh, i remember those sparks 

fireworks 

they live within me 
and once this horrible 
separation 
desperatly cruel distance
is gone 
we can drown in the smell 

of passion colliding with love 

god, i remember that smell
