On average a human will spend up to 2 weeks of his/her lifetime kissing. I’m guessing that my parents will spend approximately 1 week kissing – as I don’t think that they are very affectionate people.
Do you remember your first kiss? Do you remember the absolute rush that came from ‘just kissing’? Do you remember the feeling of swollen lips from kissing for hours on end?
I remember my first kiss – I was sweet 16 and never been kissed. I had met my first boyfriend up at the shops, in the food court. I was grabbing something to eat between school finishing and netball training beginning.
We’d shared some hot chips and a coke slurpy. I’d become flustered when it was time to leave and bent down to pick up my school bag when he’d come in to give me a hug (and a kiss).
We were stuck in an awkward embrace whilst ‘the cool girls’ sat at a table near by gorking. I was so embarrassed, was this going to be the talk of the town at school the next day?
I finally straightened up and we actually kissed… my first kiss. It was so nice, I completely forgot about all the onlookers. And I walked down to netball training on cloud nine.
Kissing these days is some times a luxury. By the time you have cooked dinner, eaten dinner, feed and bathed the baby, washed up and tidied up all of the toys from the day… all you want to do is shower and veg out on the couch.
But I think it is a nice idea to try and always make time to give your partner a kiss and a cuddle at the end of the day… and to always make time to say ‘I love you’.
Kissing might not always have the rush of those first kisses – but I think there is nothing better than kissing the person that I love and knowing that he loves me to the moon and back.
