What’s in a kiss? Hopefully, it’s passion. An embrace can mean certain things to people, most assuredly. However, usually it’s given as a sign of affection, but without the strength and enthusiasm behind a deep and emotional kiss. A look, a glance or even a stare can create desire within someone, but it’s mostly just one sided. No, it’s in the kiss that mysterious feelings are hidden and then begin to erupt. By allowing those emotions to become evident, a relationship can be truly ignited. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the person that you desired to be with was willing to keep the romance alive by continuing the same type of heated passionate kissing as in the beginning?
Love is often the basis of the bond between a man and a woman, but without the connecting touch; that point where two individuals are openly expressing their desire, devotion and commitment, love can lack. It’s the infusion of the passion that helps stimulate emotional ties, when one just doesn’t “feel the love.” A relationship can be hard work, but if two people allow themselves the sense of vulnerability to stay passionate, it can be a very enjoyable and fulfilling sense of being and last a very long time. So, take pleasure in the kiss, and make the next one last a while.
