Well, it's the last day of 2022.
I'm pretty disappointed I didn't write more for
comment_fic, but I did start / am writing a longer piece, so that is something.
I have a few more scraps to share here before kissing the year goodbye.

Theme: Memories
Prompt: Any, any/any, I still remember the taste of your kiss
Fill: Our first kiss tasted like innocence and sunshine. You were finally mine.
Our tenth kiss left traces of wine and cigarettes. My now favorite flavors.
Our one hundredth kiss was like the salty sea on a stormy night; fierce, unbridled, unstoppable.
Our last kiss was as bitter as it was sweet. I longed for your lips again before they even left mine.
I still remember. I always shall.

Happy New Year!
