the first time we kissed

One of the sweetest moments in life is the first kiss. Not the first time you puckered up and your lips met another (which was most likely your mother and that memory is lost in the ether), but each and every time we meet another along the way and long for communion. Sometimes, sadly, that first kiss was also the last kiss. Or that first kiss was (thankfully) not at all the best kiss that you ended up sharing with that person.

They are the ones that stopped our breath and melted our legs out from underneath us. They are the ones that played out again & again in our minds, even when the rest of the magic had gone out. They are the ones that burned pathways into our memories so deeply that when we think of that person, that first kiss is the first thought to jump into mind. 

I have been fortunate to have many memorable first kisses. Some were laughable, some were mediocre, but most were delicious. And I never get tired of telling the stories, and i love listening to others share their stories. 

These are the first times we kissed.
