I wonder how long it has been since there has been a kiss. I used to keep track of things like the first anniversary, and the fifth, but by the time the tenth rolled around, I knew I didn’t need to anymore. As I make my way out of this world so will all memories of a time before. There will be no stories about redemption or rebellion.
