Every time I walk into the forest
It is an overwhelming feeling
I sense you standing beside me
Because the scent reminds me of you
Its the scent of sandalwood
That emanates from the trees
Reminding me of you
And bringing tears to my eyes
The tears run down my cheeks
The smell catches my breath
The last image of you runs through my mind
The day you were lowered into the ground
The scent of sandalwood
Will always be a reminder of you
As its the scent you were buried with
Your body being encased in the sandalwood tree
