I fell in love with the smell of lavender over the course of our friendship.
It was your favorite scent to wear, something I was reminded of any time we embraced.
You gave me a bottle of your lavender essential oil to help me relax at night.
All it accomplished was making me think about you as I fell asleep, and you would then be in my dreams.
I would wake up, and you wouldn’t be there. It ended up creating a sadness to my mornings, that I would end up carrying with me for the rest of the day.
In the aftermath of our fallout, all it did was cause me pain.
All it did was damage my soul further.
All it did was remind me of us.
I still can’t be around the scent of lavender without thinking of you...
...and all it does now is break my heart.
