Kiss

I used to think we should get that first kiss overwith as soon as possible, maybe even before you know if you are compatible or not.

You know what I mean if you've ever leaned in for that first kiss and had your mouth swallowed whole. Or he kisses like he's performing tongue to tongue CPR...and it's not working.

So it seemed logical to me that getting that first kiss out of the way could save a lot of wasted time with the wrong one. Then I learned the excruciating beauty of anticipation.

Staring at his mouth until we cannot help but bring our mouths closer together...and then back off, putting off the crucial first kiss for a little while longer. Talking late into the night on a first date and our body language brings us closer together, close enough to wonder if this is the moment and then pulling away.

The anticipation and hormones flowing make almost touching the most exquisite longing I have ever experienced.Now I know you can never get back your first kiss and that's what I think makes a first kiss worth waiting for.
