A Simple Kiss

They say the gateway through one's soul is through one's eyes.
And love, admittedly, is what puts one's soul at peace.
The one common, and most crucial factor in any relationship, is the kiss.

You know... The kiss that makes your head spin.
The kiss to ease the pain.
The kiss good night.
The kiss good morning.
The kiss to set the mood.
The kiss to end that argument.
The kiss on top of kisses that makes your day, and the next, worth it.

So, if the gateway to one's soul is through one's eyes...
Why does it all boil down to that kiss--and better yet--Why do we close our eyes when we kiss?

Maybe they were wrong.
Maybe the transgressions that come to play, when lips are locked, play a less evident role in the game of love. Although we may not be aware of it, it's the kiss we long for.
It's not about the sex, the bodyheat, the orgasm(s).
It's not about the sweating and panting, the head banging against the headboard.
It's not about the bodies meeting the anatomy's needs...
It's about the kiss.

The way it moves you.
The way it flusters you.
The way it puts that smile on your face for the rest of the day.
The way it makes you long for more.
It's the kiss and the way it reassures you that, there's always that kiss...

The kiss whose impact I miss.
