Time of my Life

Only a few months into our relationship I became aware of an obsession I had with a perfume Nicole only wore on special occasions. Every time I've smelled it (whether on her or somewhere else) I couldn't help but being reminded of a thousand great times. It got to a point where I would think I'd smell it even if there was no one around. Was my mind playing tricks on me? I've never had familiar phantom scents appear out of nowhere before.

Well, the old perfume fell out of her favor years ago and we recently purchased her a new one. At first I didn't really like it. How could anything replace the original essence of the woman of my dreams? I didn't think it could happen until a few minutes ago. I was just sitting here at my desk when her new perfume crept up on me only to vanish as soon as I thought I'd smelled it. I'm the only person presently on this side of the office.

My mind playing tricks? Or am I just falling in love all over again?
