kinmokusei

The fragrance of kinmokusei permeated the whole community and every breath was filled up with apricot-like sweet scent. I knew, Autumn had come. This sweet fragrance lasted only a short period of time and normally there would be some rainy days which washed it away. Luckily it was not the case for this year.

Through some brisk wind in the starless autumn nights, this sweet scent faded from the dry air and autumn was left by the time when I woke up.

Whenever I smell this sweet fragrance, I remember you. I remember how did you look at me in those sleepless night and I remember all your words when we last met, for the last time.
