Dear You-who-just-walked-in,

I was thinking about mitochondria and chloroplasts,

Fascinated by their folds and particles,

Intertwined among chromosomes 21 and 23,

Buried in my own sea of curiosity.

.

Dear You-who-just-walked-in,

I was thinking about my life and all the greatness in my future

Daydreaming about the day I break free of societal chains,

Or even, the day I break society’s chains,

Soaring ever further beyond the horizon.

But no more.

.

In you walked with your strong bodily perfume,

And in the instant the smell reached my nostrils, all my thoughts dissipated.

All my curiosity gone, all my dreams, no more.

All that filled my mind was the strong, unrelenting smell of your perfume

And that was all.

.

It lingered in your steps and radiated from your body,

Permeating thoughts and dreams alike.

Perforating this small peaceful corner,

This small peaceful corner that took me an eternity to find.

My safe haven in this endlessly bustling world…

But no more.

.
