His Scent

He made yet another comment about how nothing she did felt good or felt real. She ignored it, yet again. Something felt different to
her that day, something about him was new, something she didn't 
quite recognize. Apart from the fact that he was no longer the 
person she fell in love with there was something new about him that day. As she settled herself now uncomfortably in the arms of the man she once knew, she felt like a stranger herself. It was the way he smelt that day. He smelt different. She wanted to know every different and every new there was to him, so she found herself asking him what cologne he was wearing. Now she vaguely remembers the name of the cologne. As she passes through the subway to get to her bus stop, a stranger passes her by and she finds herself filling up her lungs with the whiff of air he left behind.  Yes, she was filling up her lungs with the scent of the man she once knew. His Scent.
