When You Leave by Joan SerratelliWhen you leave
you never really go
The essence that is you
permeates the air
I search for you
but you're not here
When you leave
you never really go
Your aura stays
teasing me
I reach out for you
but you're not here
When you leave
you really never go
Your odor lingers
enticing me
I call for you
but you're not there
When you leave
you never really go
You just stay
inviting me
I look for you
You're everywhere
