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!
