I walked outside this morning

And the air was heavy with the scent of fall

But it was mid summer.

As soon as I inhaled

The memories of you,

Of last fall,

Flooded my brain,

The way I associate memories

With smells is incredible

Things I thought I had forgotten about,

Come back in an instant

Riding around with the windows down

But wearing sweatshirts

It was cold but we were hanging onto the warm weather

And each other.

We’d eat greasy food at 12am

And talk until 3am

Every night we’d find each other

Like it was instinct

And some days I don’t remember everything

But these summer days

Where the air is colder

And smells like fall

I listen to our playlist,

And bask in it

Just to feel it all again.
