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!

Day 8: The theme is ‘honesty’.

Honesty.

Here we go. *This is one of the rare times you’ll hear me being seriously honest. Like I don’t think I’m going to joke at all.*

I think honesty is important but overrated. I think people are hypocritical when it comes to honesty. They expect you to be completely honest with them and what do you get in return?

That’s right. Zilch. Nada. Just a gaping hole left in the place of trust.

That’s all I have to say.

Sorry, I’ve just had a really bad day.

I’ll post something better tomorrow,

Day 9: Write some words of wisdom that speak to you

Okay,

So since there’s a lot of words of wisdom that speak to me, I’m just gonna list a few. But there’s a lot more that I’m not gonna include.

 

“When you’re happy you listen to the music but when you’re sad you understand the lyrics.”

“You might be the saddest person you know; but you’ll never be the saddest person in the world. So hide your sadness behind a smile and try to make others smile cause it’ll cheer you up as well.”

“More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren’t too busy denying them.”

“You can only see others as clearly as you see yourself.”

“Life isn’t about what happens to us. It’s about how we perceive what happens to us.”

“Happiness lies ahead for those who cry; those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.”

“When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.”

“We’re all mad here.” *I know this is from Alice in Wonderland but it’s so true*

“It’s impossible to have too much fun.”

“It is not how much you have that makes people look up to you, it’s who you are.”

“It’s not who we are underneath, but what we do that defines us.” *Batman Begins*

“Do not pity the dead Harry. Pity the living, and above all those who live without love.” *Potterhead alert*

“Life is uncertain; eat dessert first.”

“There are many things that’ll make you angry or upset, but chocolate will always make you happy.”

“Have i gone mad?”

“I’m afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are.”

And my personal favourite 😛

“If you’re eating food and anyone asks why you’re eating too much? Just eat them up as well.”
