I can smell you

I learned tonight
that there is a difference
between
love
sex
marriage
and friendship,
in that order

We're full
of it, as I care
for you, and you,
and you, and you,
and you, maybe three

There is
an odour
to the order

I can smell
you

Smell is my most vivid memory about people, situations etc.

I think that's an interesting concept your playing with in this poem.
