I.
Fresh rain smell
enters my nostrals as I inhale.
There it is.
The place where it all started.
The place where we laughed.
We cuddled under the covers all the day.
The place where everything seemed perfect.
I see it now.
The house stands tall.
I don't remember it looking so cold.
I hear your voice.
Your giggle and the words you used to say - melted my heart.

II.
Fresh rain smell
enters my nostrals as I inhale.
There it goes.
The place wehre it all started.
The place where you made me feel more beautiful than anyone else ever had.
We got lost in each other for hours.
The place where the hurt I would feel in the future was forshadowed.
I see it now.
I don't remember that side of you.
I hear your voice.
Your devotion and the words that swept me off my feet - again and again.

III.
Fresh rain smell
enters my nostrals as I inhale.
There it was.
The place where it all started.
The place where I knew she had been.
We argued repeatedly about her.
The place where love and lust got conused and you even tricked yourself.
I see it now.
I don't remember being so naive.
I hear your voice.
Your gentle tone, the words I wanted to hear - you chose me.

IIII.
Fresh rain smell
enters my nostrals as I inhale.
There it's lost.
The place where it all ended.
The place where I was hurt over and over again.
We enjoyed each other over and over again even when it was wrong.
The place where I wantedto be but couln't trust.
I see it now.
I don't remember finally realizing the reality.
I hear your voice.
The monotones, the words that no longer mean a thing - and never did.

I came upon this poem recently that I wrote many years ago.
