'Scent'imental Memories

Aroma, fragrance, scent.... Yes, they can carry us back to those memories we left behind. Strange, right? At times strange things of the past weave the most beautiful memories for us to cherish.

Leaving the comforts of home behind and then coming back to push the door of your room, lying flat on your bed to inhale its scent, the smell that describes you, is the most comforting feel ever. The pillow which is your constant companion, who wiped your tears has the smell of your grief. 

It's been so long since they met. That meeting has to be memorable. They planned what to and what not to say to make the day pinned in their memory. Finally they met. They stammered, words choked in their throat, but their eyes spoke what their lips couldn't. Back home, she felt something strange, ecstatic; he hasn't left. His odour surrounded her like an unseen blanket for her to inhale when the sense of longing haunts her.

Scents are a part of human emotions and nostalgia. They are imperceptible yet obvious wandering through our inner self. People may leave but their scent stays.
