And I’ll wrap myself up 

in your fabric armor

pulling it tight around my smaller body

burying my head in all the extra

And I’ll tell myself that I can still

find your scent

so that I can breathe again

holding on to my fragile hope

Last four lines are full of feeling!
Sad, but so beautiful too!
