My two strongest sensory recalls are scent.....and song.

It just takes a few notes of a song to take you right back into a moment, and make that moment last forever. I can feel the temperature of the air, the smell of the grass, and how you know that it's going to be dewy in the morning. It's not quite dark but I'm having a hard time seeing you clearly, or maybe that's just my memory. And there were fireflies in the yard, and cigarettes on your breath, as usual.

And I never, ever, ever thought I would like that CD. But now every track is part of the soundtrack of that summer. Of driving away with my windows down and the cool air finally giving a break from the sweat.
