Some kind of jasmine

My mother told me that the plants growing in the yard aren't honeysuckles,
But they might as well be.

She said they're yellow jasmine,
But they smell so sweet —

A scent that reminds me of you, something I want to experience again.

Given only the briefest glimpse of how the nights can be, cuddled up next to you in a bundle, I'm intoxicated. I want to feel that again.

They're not honeysuckles at all. A google search made me look silly. I should have known that.

But they smell like love. Like sunshine and something tranquil. They smell like laughter.

They smell like how you feel to me.
