I never have forgotten
The sweetness of your essence
As I wrap myself in this old shirt of yours

The incense of your love
The aroma captured in the air
The fragrance that lingers within my heart

The sweet smell of you
And oh God , how much I miss you

I slowly fall into a slumber
The numbness in my heart
Stands in confusion
As it watches my life fallin’ apart

Wake me up before I break
Cradle me in the bosom of your soul

Allow the sweet temptation
Of my spirit ,Chase after you
give me the sheer pleasure to inhale your Love
before you completely fade away
and your incense becomes faint
