With eyes closed I breathed your essence Lost in wonder I held your presence My prayers forgotten My rosary looked askance I held you today Like you hold your fragrance

If memories were a place It would surely be the heavens If life had a name It would be a handful of lessons If we were the circus You would surely be my twin If love had a fragrance It would be a handful of jasmine
