Cloud 9 in Hell

You walked by me today,
But it wasn’t you
You smelled the same as always,
But it wasn’t you
you walked by me, I picked up on the fragrance,
my heart swelled and sunk
And it sang with a particular cadence
It sang high heavenly notes
But from the bottom of a cold dark well
One singular breeze
Had put me under a spell
Someone was wearing your cologne
My nose has been trained
It brought back heavenly moments,
It brought back unnerving pain
We could have never worked,
I know that to be true
But that doesn’t change the memories,
& how nothing could change you
You walked by me today
And I’m glad it wasn’t you
You are no longer my world,
You are in my rear view
