while at work I am briefly taken aback
stocking clothes on the shelf in the mens department
when for just a moment I sense I smell you near
dropping the shirts on the floor I turn around but don't find you
it's just a customer breezing past but instantly.......I remember
*******************************************************************************
I REMEMBER
*******************************************************************************
the conversations we used to have
us walking in the park hand in hand
you pushing me on the swing in the park
the two of us making out by the slide once it got dark
*******************************************************************************
I REMEMBER
*******************************************************************************
you gave me a hicky on my neck bright as day
the trouble my mom gave me when she grounded me the very next day
then I remember us being older and you telling me you want to see someone new
remember it well having kept the receipt of the cologne I had just bought you

now I play on the memories every time someone passes with such a scent
but i'm still loving you and missing all the time together we've spent

(sigh...much like picking up the pieces of my life, let me pick these shirts up and get back to work)
