Today was a nice day. I had succeeded to have some fun outside for a while. Sabrina called and we decided to hang out at the Diemerplein (it is a place with all the shops in my little town). The place is small but at least it provides most of the things we need. We met at this family café (I might say).
I love this place. It has this perfect ice cappuccino (which they only sell it in the summer) and the friendly atmosphere. Well anyways, most people that come to this place is from the age box 40 to older. There are some younger people around but most of them came there with their family.
I was sitting there all by myself waiting for Sabrina. As I sat and look around I saw all these old people chatting and laughing with their friends. Every new people comes in they said hi to each other and give the Dutch kiss (which is the kiss on the cheeks 3 times). Then I couldn’t help but wonder what actually kisses represents?
There are many kinds of kisses and in many ways. It’s unbelievable the feelings that kisses could give. It could be a greeting when you meet friends or families. It could represent the feelings you care for your love one. It could be a passionate sign. It could be most things. It depends on the way we give it and to whom the kisses are given.
Even a kiss on your forehead, you could sense the caring from the person who kissed you. It is weird that you can’t fake those things. You just don’t feel the care if the person who kiss you didn’t kiss you with care. You can’t feel the love if the person who kissed you didn’t kiss you with love. Is there any rulebook on how you kiss?
Some people do need a way to show their love and care. For a person like me prove is needed. You may say that my life is like a court. I need a case, I need reasons and I need prove. I never said that words are not important. But surely we can fake what we feel and explain it in the opposite ways. But with your attitude you barely could fake it. Is there a way to fake the feelings behind a kiss?
Could we say that a kiss is another tool or medium to communicate?
There is this one kiss that I never forget. It was my first innocent kiss. Nothing ever tops that feeling (so far). It feels perfect and sweet like vanilla ice cream with caramel syrup and cherry on top, just the way I like it.
It was a lovely trip to the beach with my love ones; my family, a couple of friends and of course “the guy”. I was in Junior High. This trip turns out to become the trip that I can’t forget. Never thought a family trip could turn to my "first kiss trip". Not gonna tell you the detail coz it will be too long. All that i can say is, an extra help was needed by that time. And the help comes from a piece of candy. It was cute.
When it happened you feel like it wasn’t real. You opened your eyes and voilllllaaa!!! It wasn’t a dream. You just feel these butterflies tickling inside your belly. You smile the whole time that you just don’t believe it happen. You see the guy & you just smile. I saw him playing basketball & I smile. I bet if my mother saw me, she will ask me if i was ok. Every single eye contact you made with him you just know the click. We experience something that only both of us knew. A little secret just between us that no one in that place or even the whole world knew. It is special. I am happy.
Every person experiences a first kiss. There is always a first for everything. Every single first is a memory that a person couldn't erase. It will be filed neatly inside the drawers in your brain. It is sweet how a kiss can give you such a feeling that couldn’t be described.
But then I couldn’t stop myself to wonder will I get that kind of feelings again?
