You left the smell of you behind on my shoulder, just where your head pressed when we hugged goodbye. I looked forward, all the way home, each time I turned my head to the right, to breathing you in.

The olfactory cortex is directly linked to the amygdala, and the hippocampus, both which are involved in forming and storing memories. Further the amygdala is specifically involved in emotional memory.
