Remnants of a Sweater

It’s been a while since we spoke

The last time we met still etched in my mind

Such a bittersweet memory, still makes me cry sometimes


I can still remember the stormy skies

And the smell of petrichor in the air

When we called it quits, over something I forget


But I still kept your sweater, the one I “stole”

And it kept me warm on rainy days, felt like those hugs of yours

Tucked away in a drawer; so your scent remained


I’ve never really been able to explain

What that sweater really meant to me

But it reminded me of you and smelled lovely


Until I spilled something; you’d always called me clumsy

And as the water washed away the stain,

It seemed to wash away the remnants of you


I now have what used to be your sweater

But it now smells like me; even though it still hugs me like you used to

I’ve searched every store for a scented candle to bring back that smell

But none of my scented candles could ever hold a candle to you

Word prompt: Sweater

I originally started this a couple of months ago but never really had the patience to finish it, but here I am! This pandemic has taught me a lot of things but it’s also made me realize that I miss writing so I’m going to try and finish whatever I had written and left off as well as start writing again.
I hope you enjoyed this and let me know if you have any suggestions or word prompts for me to use!
