- Watching a meteor shower
- Digging your fingers into fresh dirt
- Snow being shoved down the back of your coat
- Napping in sunshine
- Trying to walk on ice
- Walking through the woods
- Raindrops on eyelashes
- The way cold glass fogs when you press your hand against it
- A perfectly brewed cup of tea
- The taste of Vodka at the back of your throat
- Blood at the corner of your mouth
- Cloying sweetness on the back of your tongue
- The first glass of fresh water
- Stale breath when you wake up
- The taste of salt on the tip of your tongue
- The taste of almonds
- Your bed after travelling
- Red wine stained lips
- Satin in candlelight
- Reflections in glass
- Thigh-high stockings and garter belts
- Neon lights at 1.30am
- Darting shadows in the corner of your eye
- Dust floating in golden sunlight
- The smell of ozone during a storm
- The smell of Cologne/Perfume on warm skin
- The musty smell of an abandoned home
- The bitter tang of acetone
- The smell of burning wood
- The smell of freshly baked bread
- The cold, sharp smell of the first frost
- The smell of blood
- The feel of fingertips trailing over a bare shoulder blade
- The feel of fingers brushing together by accident
- Blowing a raspberry against someone’s skin
- Being so close that you can feel your lips brush when you whisper
- The tender ache when you press against bruises
- A person’s weight as they lie on top of you
- Stepping in something squishy
- Gritty eyes when you stare into fire too long
- A door closing
- A ticking wristwatch
- Your favourite song on repeat for the hundredth time
- Distant traffic
- The creak of leather
- The waver in a person’s voice when they’re stressed
- Singing badly as loud as you can
- A quiet sigh as they turn away
- Trying to pull on clothes with damp skin
- The empty space that can’t be breached between you in bed
- The jittery, sick feeling when you can’t do anything
- Exhausted numbness after crying
- The relief of fatalistic recklessness
- The moment when reality starts to make sense again
- Finding old photographs you’d forgotten about
- Someone accepting the bad parts of you without judging
- Brown iodine stains on skin
- Rust red dirt
- Orange sunsets
- Yellow halogen lights
- Green wine bottles
- Fingertips smudged in blue ink
- Indigo skies just before dawn
- Violet bruised eyes
