KISS

I went for a walk this morning for no reason at all, other than it was dark and very quiet. While I was strolling around town, I started thinking about "that kiss" and it made me happy.

Not the rock band KISS, but THE (to join lips in respect, affection, love, passion) kiss.

Not your first kiss either, but the kiss that all the ones that have come before and after are judged against. And they all never measure up.

The one that made your heart race and made time stop. It clearly defined how long forever is, and how it would never be long enough.

The kiss that made everyone else in the room disappear leaving only you two. It fills your soul with pure pleasure, hope and a longing you never knew you had.

It's the kiss that you know will change your life forever.

And it does.

I was thinking about that kiss this morning. That once in a lifetime perfect moment when every raw emotion erupts with anticipation and your whole body tingles with electricity. Where your body, mind and soul and their body, mind and soul converge together for this brief instant. That during this moment there is no you or them. Just an entity of unbridled joy and happiness.

One single being.

An eternity passes, as one.

Until your lips part.

The world materializes and you feel that emptiness again. That you are no longer complete. The ache that comes when your lips separate. How much it hurts being apart...again.

Before that perfect kiss you were blissfully unaware.

Before that moment, happiness came in knowing you existed.

Now the disappointment comes crashing into you knowing you were never more alive then you were in those two seconds.

I went for a walk this morning for no reason at all, other than it was dark and very quiet. While I was strolling around town, I started thinking about "that kiss" and it made me sad.
