I greet the sweet recall-
               with a smile.
The nighttime street lights
               I repurposed for you.

They never ceased to be,
My bittersweet memories.

I greet the smell of you fondly,
The detergent
              I don't seem to know the name of.

The awkward way you told me things,
All become my bittersweet memories.

I greet the present with a smile
              and warmth,
And it falls deeply
              in love with me.

But I cannot escape,
My bittersweet memories.
