As I Read Your Texts.. Poem by Extremelyconfused Soul

as i read through your texts i breathe deeply & in that brief moment, i swear i could smell you. your smell surrounds me like the warmth of a shower.
it come over me & entered my lungs like the cold, crisp air of an early autumn morning, shocking but refreshing.
it reminded me of your hugs. those short but comforting embraces. the way your arms gently but firmly wrapped around me & i could feel the lightest brush of your chin or cheek rest on the top of my head for just a brief second.
the way we'd sit opposite each other & your eyes would never leave mine. the way you dove further than my eyes right into the deepest & darkest parts of my mind & soul.
the way you took both my hands in yours & swore that you'd always be there.
i miss your presence.
