Love's Perfume

Driving into work now
I can still smell you
Breathing deep
I fill my lungs with
Your scent, your perfume

I take another breath
And it fills my head
With images of you
Of me, of us
Of only a short time ago

I love your fragrance
It's all yours and it's so you
It makes me wish
To be in your arms
With us skin to skin

How I dearly delight in this
The afterglow of love
It's been hours now
But the residue of love remains
I close my eyes and breathe

Your scent still lingers
Permeates my skin
Invades my mind
Causing visions of us
For the rest of the day
