Night

By Eric Malcolm

The room was dark,

With nothing but the sensuous shadow of your body,

I remember your silhouette moving towards me,

And I could smell the fragrance of the vanilla candle in the background.

I told you that vanilla is an aphrodisiac for men,

You remembered.

I’m realistic to know that this love can’t last forever.

I knew at that moment that we couldn’t be together forever.

But at that moment, it really didn’t matter.

Your sweet smell and soft lips could always make me forget.
