Remember – R – A to Z Challenge 2019
Recalling your green eyes on that beautiful day. Every delicate food that my mouth tasted. Many minutes uselessly wasted. Every kiss he blew from far away. Moaning about the lack of money. Befriending a stranger. Enjoying the absence of danger. Realising that the cake contained honey.
Queue – A to Z Challenge 2019
"Sorry" the woman behind the counter apologised, not sounding apologetic at all. I looked at her with a quizzical look. What was she pretending to be sorry for?

Omnipresent – O – A to Z Challenge 2019

Impatient – I – A to Z Challenge
He drums his fingers on the kitchen counter, impatiently waiting for the water to boil. Impatient you moan about your car stuck in traffic. With impatience, I check my post box in the morning.
