Kissing
We don’t just kiss romantically, of course; we also kiss [as] a
good-luck charm
Young women press lipsticked mouths to the backs of envelopes so that
all the tiny lines will carry like fingerprint kisses to their sweethearts
A kiss on the mouth is another form of intercourse, and it’s not
surprising that it should make the mind and body surge with gorgeous sensations
We kissed timelessly, because lovers throughout the ages knew our
longing
We kissed wildly, almost painfully, with tough, soul-stealing rigor;
We kissed elaborately, as if we were inventing kisses for the first
time;
We kissed shamelessly, with all the robust sappiness of youth;
We kissed as if kissing could save us from ourselves.
In this moment, I
realized that there was so much more to kissing than what I had ever experienced or thought of before.
As I searched through a sea of tan for the one soldier I loved, I cheered alongside
a dozen other girls who were doing the same thing. When he ran to the other
side of the road and put his sweaty hands on my waist, the world stopped. While
probably one of our shortest kisses, this is one that will last a lifetime as
our touch in that moment felt more real than ever before. The sense of touch that electrifies you from the moment of contact, lip to lip, all the way until he's rounded the curve and long gone.
