Toskovat - EDP Concentration

Today I remembered my first love (and some other obsessions), after finding our old vase.

When I was young, I wrote a parable about an alien who loved pineapples.
Only very specific ones, though.
His human partner didn't like how they fermented,
and they did not speak the same language.
I guess nothing makes sense when you're in love,
and that little else matters when you're drunk on it.

In the days that followed, I swam so often.
Sometimes it felt like waves of lavender bringing sleep,
but more often it was streams of gin & tonic that drowned it.

There were always tears at the end,
burning my cheek and salting my glass.
But there is no end.
