Constant Remembrance of You

I smelled your shirt this morning
I found it lying in a pile, mingled with clothes of my own

I was immediately reminded of you

I drew in your sweet scent,
Let it wash over me like a tremendous thunderstorm
And it sent my memories reeling

Memories of your face
                    your touch
                    your taste

Come back to me and calm my wild thoughts
Thoughts that swirl and rattle around up there
Confusing me and clouding my judgement
Come back to me and part the clouds

I see with such clarity when you're near
The comfort of your scent gives me the strength
To live the life I was meant to live
