Thank you writersisland.wordpress.com for the inspiration.
If I close my eyes real tight
I’ll see you once again
Faint smells in crowded rooms
Only finding where you’ve been
Sometimes I sense you staring
I turn quickly to find your face
But when I focus on you
Someones standing in your place
Maybe when I stop searching
You’ll find me here instead
You’ll miss that I stopped looking
You’ll miss me in your head
Maybe when that happens
We’ll once again unite
Spending days missing you
Wanting something new to write.

Really like your poem, especially these lines:
Faint smells in crowded rooms
Only finding where you’ve been
Also like the hope and soft vulnerability in that second to last verse.

I really like those two lines very much also…it adds almost an air of mystery to the event…..also found the last line to be quite emotion packed.

I do like this. The rhyme makes it seem even more fragile. (I suspect that the same sentiment in my style would sound like stalking)
