limoncello

I thought about all that, back then.
I made 12 bottles of limoncello, and I know you know, I just keep thinking about it. 
They were gifts, I got the idea from an artist, not a famous one, but he is good. 
I took a bag of lemons, and peeled off all the skin, you watched me, and my hands smelled of like lemons. 
And I think there was a fire in the room, and it was before Christmas. 
I didn't really know what was going to come next. 
The plan was to soak them in vodka, I know, but I can't get pure alcohol here. 
Then after a few weeks I'll add sugar, and then after a few weeks they would be done. 
I put them in a bowl with a lid, it was a present from the last housemate. 
I watched then each day the vodka's color changed. 
I think each day after we talked a little less. 
Then the vodka became a little more yellow. 
At some point it was finished. 
And I think I gave you a bottle for Christmas.
And you said you didn't like it.
