essence

I remember that smell...

jasmine and oranges

whenever the sun heated your skin

your soft, long hair

that went over your shoulder

and the way it felt to touch you

and your smile,

I remember that the most

it was so bright

and filled the room

when I made you laugh

and how your body trembled

against mine,

that and so many things I can never forget

I resisted for as long as I could,

yet still I failed

because loving you,

was the easiest thing

I ever knew
