Like Smoke In The Night

You drifted in Like smoke in the night. No sound, no knock, Just soft candlelight. You wrapped around me, Quiet and slow. I breathed you deep, And I let you go. You left no trace, Not even a sound. But something lingers. It's still hanging around. In the curtains, the floor, this old wooden Chair. In every place you were never Quite there. You're gone, But I still breathe you in. Like perfume on my skin, Soaked in sin. Sweet and slow, You fade from view. But I'm still wrapped in the taste Of you. The whiskey's gone, The night's grown still. I reach for warmth But feel that chill. Your echo hums In the hallway air. A silent song, And it's always there. Was it real Or just a dream? Some loves are smoke, not what they seem. But I remember every spark, even as I Sit here in the dark. You're gone, But I still breathe you in. Like perfume on my skin, Soaked in sin. Sweet and slow, You fade from view. But I'm still wrapped in the taste Of you.
