Gardenia and tears mingle
Her love walks away

    since gardenia is one of my favorite scents (altho a bit too cloying to wear often), I read these lovely words in a miasma of sadness

    This is beautiful and sad, Becca. Although the tears could be joyful and he could be returning, it doesn’t feel like that. Nicely done.
