...and once again

...and once again,
I linger in the scent
of you. Your pillow,
still warm from the night,
cradled you as you slept.

It inhaled your essence
and kept it for me alone.
I rejoice in it as
sleep reclaims me.

Snuggling closer
to your aroma, I dream
images of you
next to me.

Thanks to both of you for your continued support. I can't tell you how flattered I am. I wrote this last night for the next round of the round robin. I kept looking at it to see what else I could do with it. I'm so pleased the two of you liked it so well.

This is so good. I love the scent--the most important sense we have, and it has the most profound effect on us. Well done, girl.
