At the end of another night, making my way home

Even through the thick of the night’s heat

I could smell her sweet scent clinging to me

Honeysuckle, not noticing the subtle Rhododendron

I’m only a couple blocks away when she phones me

She said that I forgot something, without any details

I check my pockets and everything seems in place

However, I do return to her, just to make sure

When I arrive she is holding a clever grin

She said that I forgot a kiss, and she gave it back

Shared so many that evening, I must have dropped one

It was late when I first left, I really did have to go

It was all the cute antics that kept me coming back

The fact that she was herself was what I truly adored
