Letters to the Love of My Life

lingering

b,
the smell of your skin lingers on my clothes and my hair
your touch lingers though i know it's no longer there
the memory replays like a broken record
your voice lingers and repeats word for word

the air of you lingers in my car
the look of your smile is never too far
the more you linger, my heart beats grow stronger
so please, my dear, linger a little while longer.

Yours,
a
