A/N: Written for Challenge #193 ~ Yesterday at femslash100.

A/N2: Needless to say, reviews will make my day. This is a loose sequel to 'Gin On Your Lips, Love On Mine'.


I think yesterday is a good colour on you. The warmth of an already bygone sun is a beautiful addition to the perpetual pink tint of your cheeks. I savour the smell of yesterday in your hair. It is fresh in a way today can never be. The taste of memories is intoxicating on your lips. The past is always beautiful when viewed through the lens of today.

The Serena of yesterday is always the most beautiful to me, for I know what she has done, for I am aware of what she has said. The Serena of yesterday is a predictable occurrence and it is always a welcome thing that this perfect Serena in my mind is not and cannot be the one that makes my heart skip a beat in a messy rhythm. I understand the Serena of yesterday and therefore she, not you, is the ideal Serena.
