As If We Never Said Goodbye

It's the little things that touch my heart

I received a package from you today.
It was just a little box
Covered in brown paper
Containing odds and ends,
Things left behind
Nothing much.
Until
I opened the box.

Wrapped around the items,
Odds and ends,
Nothing much,
Was the scent of your tobacco.
It took me by surprise
tears gently caress my eyes.

I smiled breathing in the familiar.

How you would laugh at my reaction
Knowing my aversion
Knowing my fear
Knowing me.

For a moment,
Taking in the familiar
We are together
Memories
Falling about me
Like a waterfall.
