Kiss

Kisses are such simple things, we hardly notice them
But if we paid more attention,
we'd see that each kiss conveys meaning all its own.

For example,
some can say: "I'm so happy to see you,"
or: "I didn't realise you'd be here,"
or: "Honey, it's time to stop drinking, "
or: "I miss you much!"
The trick is knowing how to tell the difference.
Yes, kisses mean different things to different people.
Ultimately, the meaning depends on the one who does the kissing,
and the one who sees it happen.

The act itself never varies,
but each kiss carries with it a meaning all its own.
It can conveys a husband's eternal devotion, or a wife's enormous regret.
It can symbolize a mother's growing concern, or a lover's growing passion.

But whatever its meaning, each kiss reflects a basic human need.
The need to connect to another human being.
This desire is so strong it's always amazing when some people don't understand it.
