Have you ever smelled petrichor? 

We experience the smell dozens of times, 

but sometimes it's nice to remember

How the sun kisses the land

How the rain holds onto the earth

in a way that releases that sweet petrichor.

How we hold hands against all;

the world, the sun, the stars.


I remind myself this won't matter in the long run

That years will pass with or without this moment

This moment of realization 

Where it's just us two

And yet we still hold hands

And yet we still stop to smell the petrichor in the air.
