Just One Kiss

I was pondering the thought of how powerful just one kiss can be. It can open or shut many doors. With just one kiss, one can communicate so many things. It can represent a simple "hello", "I'm sorry", "I missed you", "goodbye" or "I want more". If we are lucky, we get to kiss people every day. Without words one can say, "good morning", "good night" or "have a nice day". But I'm thinking about those out of the ordinary special kisses which change your life forever. For instance, kissing my children for the very first time when they were born. Or kissing my nine year old nephew goodbye forever while he laid dead in his casket. And then there's that one special kiss shared with a unique person which said, "This is who I am. Open up to me and feel my passion. Let's see where it takes us!"

I never really realized how powerful those kisses were until they became a faded memory. I wish I could go back in time and really appreciate those moments. I wish I could kiss more people every day and communicate to the world what I am truly feeling.... but I can't.
