there's something about smell
that is so memorable.
maybe it's just me
that seems to understand,
but let me explain, and we'll see.

when you smell the sweet scent of a rose,
or the pungent smell of vinegar,
you see the item, the image,
often quite clearly in your mind.

this not only applies to items, but to people as well.
your lover
maybe wears cologne.
he always smells nice, and you can never forget the scent. 
maybe she wears lotion, and only one kind. 
the very same smell, she has always had,
and when thinking of her
you can always smell the lotion on her skin.

the fragrances of which i speak are just the beginning. 
there is so much more, 
so much to associate with smell,

but i'm afraid i can't put it all here at once. 
you'll just have to sniff around to understand.
