I won't do it again

I won't do it again
Missing him already
An hour barely gone
I needed something to remind me of him
There on the bathroom bench
His perfume spray that I love so much
Getting out of a hot shower
I enveloped myself in this fragrant cloud
Major error ! What a disappointment!
His body chemistry and mine 
Are a sea apart
Instead of the sharp, fresh aroma of citrus
I inhaled a flat indistinct  smell
On the spot I'd killed 
The most intense memory of his body
A perfume is so intimate 
A smell is a body signature
Unique and personal 
I swear I won't do it again!
