A Not So Distant Memory

I sit in a darkened room
on a damp, dreary day, 
thinking about a certain someone
and about a certain perfume...
both aroused my senses,
both aroused my needs.

She was a beautiful young woman of grace, 
and I, a headstrong young man,
our eyes met, 
my heart began to race, 
this young maiden
I just knew that it had to be.

Our time was grand,
it churned passionately for a time;
this young maiden and 
that certain perfume fueled me,
but like an uncontrollable wildfire
it had to be extinguished.

That was many years ago, 
our love - my loss, 
my heart was ripped in two, 
her memory haunts me so...
that certain someone, 
that certain perfume.
