That smell

Not everyone enjoys smelling as much as I do and you may not be able to tell by looking at me but I can smell better than almost anyone. I can smell things that no one else can and I can pinpoint that smell almost perfectly. I can tell you exactly what a smell smells like and most often I will get the response of, "Oh yeah, it does!" My man has a smell. Not a bad, sweaty sock smell, but a Marine smell. More detailed than that, a jet-flying Marine smell. In a nutshell, he smells like jet fuel. Not all of the time, but usually. His truck smells like jet fuel, his flight suits smell like jet fuel, his wallet smells like jet fuel, and even his hands smell like jet fuel at the end of every day. Most people have not even smelled jet fuel. If you are curious, you can smell my Marine and never again forget that smell. I love it. I love the smell of jet fuel. It means he is home.
