scent

Do you ever feel like some scent brings back memories?

Like  have you ever   felt like you smelled a certain scent?

Where it  triggers back memories of the past.

It happens to me all the time.

Sometimes I feel like my mind is somewhere else.

When my body is here.

My thoughts get in the way of me. 

And I scent other places.

Where I have been in the past,

Like old scents such as coffee in the mornings.

Reminds me of the good old days .

Where I use to wake up to my mothers  good home made coffee.

Or the smell of sharpened pencils reminds me of the first day of elementry .

Or how about the smell of pine trees back in the summer days . 

Reminds me of the days I use to spend my afternoons taking walks at the lake. 

I rememeber it all .

I scent it two.

And if I can Relive the moments again  I would.
