Today, after having spent the weekend at my mom's house, I came back to our house in Puebla and, as I was about to open the door, I prepared myself to embrace that woody aroma the house always gets after being with all the windows closed for two days...
It was then that I realized it would be the last time I'd smell it.
I know that we will have a new house
And that it will probably have a nice smell too
I just wish I could preserve the feeling of this one the same way you can save a picture or a recording...
But perhaps, if we could save smells and have access to them whenever we wanted... they would lose that magical quality of theirs... Which allows you to re-live a whole period of your life in an instant
Just by breathing.
