'The Scent Of You' Poem by Linda Winchell

The scent of you still lingers dear,
When I lay my head down to sleep.
In floral sweetness of your body moist,
Still held in fibers of your pillow deep.

I roll over and just have to close my eyes,
And the memory of you comes rushing near.
No matter how long you’re away,
I still smell the sweetness of you here.

I know that you may never return,
But I shall hold onto all those memories that I knew.
And will sleep soundly in the bed we both shared,
Remembering that sweet scent that was left by you.
