A smell rises up from the steaming pavement
It is at once both repugnant and sweet
Evoking remembrances of you
Bittersweet memories cloud my mind
Melting today into yesterday
The myriad of aromas dance in the air
Visible as a hazy veil in the summer heat
Lending reality to the illusion
Of another time; another city
When we walked united beneath neon lights
Constantly reforming and swirling around
Like a chameleon through a changing landscape
Always familiar, yet never the same
Igniting emotions buried deep
Creating conflict within my soul
The pervasive odors of the city
Though constant; are never consistent
Pleasing to the senses in one breath
Unknown and frightening with the next
Reminding me of your love

Beautifully worded. I really don't have any other way of putting it! Just extremely well-written and expresses the ideas of remembrance and cherishing almost perfectly.
