For the breakup Nonet challenge

Seems like just yesterday your cologned

neck was pressed against my lipgloss.

Or the wet inner part of

your bottom lip was snatched

between my front teeth.

Tell me shugs, what

grew old since

we did

not?

    Love the touch of ending with a question! Great entry, Natasha!

  • Ugh so good and sad that things can go south so quickly… as usual wonderful job on this one!

  • It's so scaryyyy the way people fall out of love. Such a poignant Nonet and I absolutely loved it!

    deliciously introspective. incredible work!

  • Ah, Natasha! This is so cool, how you went from an intimate visual to the big, existential question! I also love the details in this so much! Cologned neck pressed against my lipgloss is just the best line ever!!!

    Love can be gone in seconds sometimes, but it’s always harder on the one who is still in love.
