The smell of your aftershave
was too strong to be around people.
At first I thought I was the only one
who was having a hard time breathing.
But, everyone around me was backing up
or trying to smile through the smell in the hope.
That you would move along quickly so the fresh air smell
would come back.
As you left I took a deep breath and was relieved to smell something fresh
and pleasant to smell.
I hope to not smell that horrible overpowering smell again but unfortunately it probably
will pop up again.
