    Forgetting

    I was forgetting how you smelled.

    So I wore your jacket just so I could feel

    that everything was going to be alright.

    Wanting you to hold me tight but settling for

    your jacket to wrap around my body just right.

    It will never compensate, but it will do.

    In those moments I feel alone and I

    feel like I need you.

    I will just remember what we had and

    smell the scent to keep me content.

    So, before I wear it to many times and it

    takes on the scent of me, and I throw it

    in the wash to become another part of my

    weekly outfit routine, I will wear it to

    remember you and me.
