a little bit of hope

a scent
a fleeting memory
and a random thought of you
I look around
and laugh at myself
because I know it can't be you
it's just wishful thinking
and a little bit of hope
a desire
to feel again
the way I felt with you
random memories flood my mind
a look
a touch
a connection
I can't help but wonder
what could have been
though it doesn't matter now
all I'm left with is
a fleeting memory
a scent
and a little bit of hope
