-----
Potpourri is a mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant material, used to provide a gentle natural scent in houses.

Lavender had always been your favourite colour.
Lavender had always been my favourite scent.
You reminded me of it when we were close, intimately together - when we hugged, when we kissed, when we made love...
But you also took it away from me when you left.
And although... although you had told me that I should simply move on with my life and never dwell on your absence...
I couldn’t do it, and I still can’t.
I had to preserve our memories together; I had to keep your spirit alive. I refuse to entirely let you go even if you no longer walk this world. ‘Gone’ had never meant to severe all ties and recollections of good times together.
People asked why I have a small bowl of dried leaves in my room, and I’d just give them a smile, non-answering and non-committal, to their questions.
Even if you’d hate me for it, let me have this one last link to you...

Authoress Notes: Sounded like Yuugi again, didn’t it? I was aiming for Yami, but...oh, all right, fine, I fail. v.v
Anyway, it is implied that the scent of potpourri (lavender) is what’s keeping Yami (or Yuugi) together. My attempt to be vague, what.
Will be x-posted later. Bio lab in 30 minutes, and someone wants to use this computer.
