i don’t remember what you smelled like. i think it was a little musky, but clean, deodorant, i’m not sure. it’s gone and it’s for the best, right? you weren’t right. you were, then you weren’t anymore.
it seems that in grieving a loss, any loss, the worst part is beginning to forget the sensations - what someone tasted like, how they smelled, how they’d...
