Sweet Temptation.

I had seen him when I, perhaps, was never meant to. He was always there. He was always present in the innocent way people lay about at the circumference of a busy person's life. He came so harmlessly into my life, that I never stopped to realize.

He came when I didn't require anyone to come. He intrigued me at a time when I had not a minute for it. He slipped under my skin in the most instantaneous, agile way. Like a fragrant memory escapes into the folds of your soul.

How silently he crept into my daily days. We talked, we exchanged and then we grew used to each other.

Sometimes I still need him. You know? The way the sun needs the moon? Or the clouds need the rain?

Now I can't turn back and wonder. If I paid closer attention, would things be different now? He has come like the delicate whiff of sweet spring air. I wish he had left the same.

To stop something when it still tastes good.

Beautifully written. Treasure the good times you had with him. It is not often that one meets a person who touches our soul.

My turn to say Wow!

Some lines which I really liked:
"He was always present in the innocent way people lay about at the circumference of a busy person's life."
"Like a fragrant memory escapes into the folds of your soul."
"To stop something when it still tastes good."

True experience?
